What You Need to Know About Terminating Parental Rights

One of the most complex issues related to adoption is when the biological parents do not agree or consent to the adoption. Terminating parental rights can be a highly emotional and contentious matter. It can lead to months-long delays and expensive litigation. An attorney can help you understand how to move through these kinds of problems by providing real solutions. If you are in the middle of an adoption and are dealing with a biological parent who is refusing to consent to the adoption, our office might be able to help. We can help show the court that the termination of parental rights would be in the best interest of the child. Let us help from the filing of the petition to handling court appearances.
