Terminating Parental Rights

Being a good parent is one of the greatest and hardest jobs anyone will have. However, there are some cases where one parent is absent from the child’s life or the parent is abusive. When you are in any of those situations, it is important to protect the child from harm, physically and emotionally. At Stange Law Firm, PC, we represent individuals who want to terminate the rights of a parent who is absent or abusive.

Termination of Parental Rights

If the case is contested and goes to court, it is important to prove a few things if you are wishing to terminate the rights of a parent. You must prove that:

The child will be provided for emotionally and financially
The parent is not supporting the child and had abandoned them
The parent is abusive and a danger to the child

The interest of the child should be the most important aspect when going through a case like this. That’s why, in most cases, a guardian ad litem will be appointed to represent the interests of the child during the case.
