How do I terminate parental rights?

In Nebraska, terminating parental rights is known as an adoption “disruption” or “dissolution.” To do this, you must file a Motion for the Court to terminate the parental rights of the birth parents with a Nebraska district court. Your adoption attorney will be able to help you file the necessary paperwork and can provide you with more information. In Nebraska, the law requires that the birth parent receive reasonable notice that their parental rights are being terminated before the disruption of the adoption. If the birth parent does not contest the motion to terminate their parental rights, it will be resolved quickly by the court. If the birth parent does contest, the Court will need to hold a hearing before a judge in order to determine whether to grant the disruption. The court will consider a variety of situations when deciding whether to grant the disruption, including the best interests of the child, the birth parent’s history of care for the child, and the amount of consent given to the adoption. It is important to note that the birth parent can only contest the termination if they have actual grounds to do so, or if they have not received proper notice. Once the court has approved the disruption of parental rights, the adoptive parent will be able to move forward with the adoption process and complete the adoption. It is important to speak with an experienced adoption attorney to help you understand and follow the legal process of terminating parental rights in Nebraska.
