Re: partenal right terminated
For sure she had to receive notice of this procedure. If she didn't, she can reverse the process. She will likely need a lawyer. Courts do not appoint lawyers for this procedure. However, she may have received notice and not paid the proper attention to the document. People in jail sometimes don't pay attention to these things.
