This case involves the termination of the parental rights of Robert R., to his son, Thomas R., who was born during Robert’s marriage to Tammie C. We conclude that in order to terminate Robert’s parental rights the circuit court must have had both personal and subject matter jurisdiction.
Because the court did not have personal jurisdiction over Robert, the order terminating his parental rights to Thomas is reversed.
This opinion will not be published.
