Terminating Parental Rights
Certain issues often get brought up during divorce proceedings that have been overlooked during the marriage. One of these things is the termination of parental rights. Technically, if a parent was concerned that his or her child or children were at risk from the other parent, he or she should have sought termination of parental rights prior to divorce. But some individuals try to overlook certain things in the name of “saving the marriage.” Or, perhaps abuse or neglect of a child was the reason for the divorce.
When one side during a divorce proceeding seeks termination of parental rights, a serious charge has been issued against that parent. If you wish to seek termination of parental rights for your spouse or ex-spouse, contact the Conroe divorce lawyers of Garg & Associates, P.C. at 281-210-0010 today to schedule a free initial consultation.
Reasons for Termination of Parental Rights
To lose all parental rights, the parent in question must have engaged in one or more serious infractions in regards to the child or children. These infractions may include:
- Severe or chronic abuse and/or neglect
- Abandonment
- Long term mental illness of the parent that results in deficiency of parenting
- Long term alcohol or drug-induced incapacity
- Failure to support or maintain contact
