Termination of Parental Rights
Texas law provides for the termination of parental rights under a very long list of reasons. Knowing and understanding what reasons may apply to your case is very important in advising you how to go forward. The termination of parental rights can sometimes be a simple process because the other party wishes to terminate their parental rights, to free the child up for adoption by a stepparent. In other situations, may involve contested court hearings where the parent seeking to terminate parental rights has to overcome burdens that are higher than normal civil litigation, and ensure that all the constitutional protections the other parent has have been adhered to. Whatever situation you are facing, if you are considering the termination of another parent’s rights, make an appointment with me so we can sit down and discuss the unique facts of your case to see if this is an option that you should pursue.
