Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

It depends a lot on whether the court denies the termination of parental rights of the other parent. Why would you want to do both?

A termination of parental rights does not eliminate his obligation to pay child support. Only an adoption does. You are ABSOLUTELY ABLE to terminate rights and still seek child support. BUT, YOU MUST CONSIDER STRATEGICALLY THE TIMING OF BOTH.

Please see us. We can help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
