TPR; right to counsel
Darrell K. appeals from an order terminating his parental rights to Marquise L. He argues that the trial court violated his right to counsel when it allowed trial counsel to withdraw and exit the courtroom, found Darrell in default, and then proceeded to hear testimony supporting the termination of Darrell’s parental rights while he was unrepresented. We agree. This opinion will not be published.
