Re: termination of parental rights

You need to file an answer to the petition where you admit or deny the allegations. You have 20 days to file it with the Court. The United Supreme Court has called termination of parental rights the civil death penalty. You need to hire a lawyer to represent you or you will probably lose your rights. I might be able to represent you and get paid by the County if you can't afford an attorney

Unfortunately, your situation is too complex to answer here and I could not begin to advise you without seeing the papers filed. If you like, call me to set up a meeting and we can discuss a fee for my services. My firm accepts all major credit cards.

You must oppose the filing within a limited time or you risk losing your parental rights by default. Therefore, please do not delay.
