Description
N.M. (Mother) and M.M. (Father) appeal an order terminating their parental rights to three children. We conclude that the trial court erred in terminating the parental rights of the Father. Although the evidence supported a termination of the Mothers parental rights, our reversal as to the Father invokes the requirements of section 39.811(6), Florida Statutes (2003). That statute requires a court to consider additional factors when terminating one parents rights without terminating the rights of the other parent. Based on this record, we cannot determine the factual question of whether this is a case in which it is appropriate to terminate the rights of only one parent. Accordingly, we reverse the termination as to both parents and remand for further proceedings.
