Des Moines Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) Lawyer
If you are seeking to terminate the parental rights of the non-custodial parent of your child, you should be aware that the courts don't take the matter lightly. In many cases, parents who haven't had contact with their child for years will suddenly contest the petition when they receive notification of an abandonment action against them. Getting experienced legal help is often your best option for a successful TPR petition.
The family law attorneys at Graves Law Firm, P.C., have been representing parents on both sides of the issue in central Iowa family law courts for many years. We know the family law codes that provide for termination of parental rights, such as child support issues. Most important, we know what judges expect to see in the way of evidence and supporting documentation from the petitioner. When you meet with your attorney, we will give you an honest evaluation of your claim and counsel you objectively about your chances of a successful TPR.
"The judges want to see hard evidence that the child will not be harmed by a termination. It helps if you can show that another person is waiting to adopt and that additional child support is forthcoming. Our firm will take your case from initial application through final resolution." — Attorney Tom Graves
