How are Parental Rights Terminated in Minnesota? In Minnesota, a juvenile court may, upon petition, terminate all rights of a parent to a child. Termination of parental rights may either be voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary termination is where a parent agrees and consents to terminate the parent-child relationship.
In order to be afforded their parental rights, unmarried fathers must establish paternity through a recognition of parentage or court order.The Minnesota Department of Human Services points out that taking this step legally recognizes a man as a child's father and affords him the right to seek custody and visitation.
Unfit parent- You are seen as unfit if your behavior shows that you can't or won't take care of the children's physical, emotional, and mental health.
Studies have shown that Minnesota fathers are equal to mothers in their ability to care for and support a child. When children are born, there is no denying the special bond they share with their parents.
If the other parent agrees to the step parent adoption, you can file a petition with the local Juvenile Court asking the court to terminate the other parent's rights and allow your spouse to adopt your children. Your children's other parent will need to give his or her consent in writing.
Once you establish legal paternity, the mother cannot move away with the child over the father's objection without leave of court. However, if you do not establish paternity, the mother can move away or deny visitation rights, regardless of the father's objections.
As such, the termination of parental rights is very rare. While you may feel that your deadbeat ex isn't worthy of the privilege of time with your child, the courts look on the matter differently, taking a child's needs and well-being into account over a parent's personal grievances.
