Adoption/Termination of Parental Rights

Where a parent has been unwilling or unable to care for a child or where a child has suffered abuse or neglect, termination of parental rights, along with adoption by another family member, step parent or third party, may be an option for some families.  Terminating parental rights is very challenging, legally, financially and emotionally, for all parties involved, especially for children. 

We have experience and necessary third party resources to guide parties through this difficult process, whether in connect with cases involving the Utah Division of Child and Family Services (“DCFS”) in Juvenile Court, or cases in district court where only interested parties (not the State of Utah) are parties to the action.
