[b]Terminate Parental Rights[/b]

There are three ways to terminate a legal relationship between parent and child. The first is when a parent relinquishes their right. The second is if the parent who has custody remarries, and the third is when the state brings a Dependency and Neglect action against the parent or parents and terminates rights through a court order. Lewis & Matthews P.C. provides the legal expertise that a client needs to end a legal relationship.

A client must meet a certain set of conditions before they voluntarily relinquish parental rights. With the law office’s assistance, clients will get the counselling a child and a parent needs to meet the requirements set by the state. Lewis & Matthews P.C. helps clients with the requirements and affidavits needed for the procedure.

The steps taken assures that a person relinquishing rights fully understands the seriousness and finality of their decision. The court reserves the right to deny a request if they believe that a parent does not fully understand the consequences of their request or if there is fraud, duress, pressure or undue coercion from a third party.

A client must attend a court hearing before terminating parental rights. An exception arises in a case if the child is younger than one year.

The termination of rights without the consent of a parent is only possible when the state files a Dependency and Neglect action. There must be convincing and clear evidence to complete the termination.
