Termination of Parental Rights in Florida

Many parents who are frustrated with dealing with their ex-spouses or child’s other parent consider terminating the other parent’s rights. Parental termination is a legal process in which a parent’s legal rights are taken away. In the eyes of the court, that person ceases to be that child’s parent and has no more rights or responsibilities toward the child.
