Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Terminated Parental Rights

My husband's ex-wife requested her parental rights be terminated in January, 1997, we have custody of the two children. The court motion reflects her wishes but only ''ordered no contact until further order of the court''. She is now requesting visitation with the children. It is my understanding that if the court would have actually terminated the rights as she requested, she would not be able to do this. We are now going thru costly expenses of lawyers, psychologists, etc. Is there anyway we can make the court responsible for not carrying out her original request?

Re: Terminated Parental Rights

In a word, no. The court must have determined that it was not in the child's best interests to completely terminate the mother's rights. No court is ever required to grant any party's motion just because it is made.
