(Father) appealed the circuit court's judgment terminating his parental rights to his daughter, C.E.B., on the statutory ground of neglect. Father challenged the trial court's decision to hold a permanency hearing on the same day as the jurisdictional hearing, its findings regarding chemical dependency, and its determination that termination was in the child's best interest. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding no error in the procedural timing, that the chemical dependency finding was not against the weight of the evidence, and no abuse of discretion in the best interest determination.","primaryTopic":"child-custody","topicSlugs":["child-custody","family-law","standard-of-review","evidence","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"reinstated","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=133673","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/in-the-interest-of-ceb-a-minor-child-under-seventeen-years-of-age-clb-res-d35537","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: child-custody"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
