AFFIRMED
Dorothy Kelehear, of Tabor City, James P. Saverance, Jr., of Bishopville, for Appellant.
Stephen Bryan Doby, of Bishopville, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Dorothy Kelehear appeals from a family court order terminating her parental rights as to her three minor children. The family court found that the children had lived outside Kelehear�s home for more than six months. The family court also heard testimony that Kelehear failed to support the children. See S.C.Code Ann. � 20-7-1572(4) (Supp. 2000).
Pursuant to Ex parte Cauthen, 291 S.C. 465, 354 S.E.2d 381 (1987), Kelehear�s counsel attached to the record of the family court proceedings an affidavit stating his belief that the appeal lacks merit. Kelehear did not file a pro se response to counsel�s affidavit.
Upon reviewing the record and the family court�s determination in its entirety, we find no meritorious issues warranting briefing. Accordingly, the trial court�s decision is
AFFIRMED.
