Description
The natural father of Baby Boy S. appeals the trial court's
decision terminating his parental rights pursuant to K.S.A. 1990
Supp. 59-2136. The controlling issue is whether the findings of
fact by the trial court are supported by substantial competent
evidence of clear and convincing quality. K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 59-2136(h)(4) states:
"(h) When a father or alleged father appears and
asserts parental rights, the court shall determine
parentage, if necessary pursuant to the Kansas
parentage act. If a father desires but is financially
unable to employ an attorney, the court shall appoint
an attorney for the father. Thereafter, the court may
order that parental rights be terminated, upon a
finding by clear and convincing evidence, of any of
the following:
. . . .
"(4) the father, after having knowledge of the
pregnancy, failed without reasonable cause to provide
support for the mother during the six months prior to
the child's birth."
