What is Voluntary Termination of Parental Rights?
Voluntary relinquishment of parental rights occurs when one or both parents decide, of their own free will, that termination is desired. A Court Order of Termination permanently severs any legal ties between the former parent and the child. An affidavit of consent by the parent is required, and in some instances court testimony must be given by the parent.
