Missouri Renunciation-Consent is a legal document that is used to terminate an individual’s parental rights in the state of Missouri. It is typically used when an individual is voluntarily relinquishing parental rights in order for a child to be adopted by someone else. There are two types of Missouri Renunciation-Consent: the Voluntary Termination of Parental Rights and the Default Termination of Parental Rights. The Voluntary Termination of Parental Rights occurs when the biological parent is willingly giving up their rights, while the Default Termination of Parental Rights occurs when the biological parent fails to respond to the legal proceedings of terminating their parental rights. The Renunciation-Consent must be signed in front of a notary in order for it to be valid. In addition, the document must be signed by both the biological parent and the adoptive parent or guardian.
