Re: Termenated a mothers rights

If your ex-wife volunarily does not have contact with the children for a one year period that is ground for terminating her parental rights. Without knowning more facts it is hard to advise you thoroughly. For a more indepth discussion of these issues call Landon Northcutt at 254-968-5400.
