Re: how to file relinquishing parental rights

A termination and adoption is not something which I would advise anyone to attempt without a lawyer. Of course, there will be a social study and most likely an attorney ad litem involved in the matter, but wouldn't you think you should hire a lawyer before proceeding to see if it is even likely to happen? Check out my website and my fees are listed on the fees page.
