The Pennsylvania Final Decree to Voluntarily Relinquish Parental Rights to Adults is a legal document issued by the courts that allows a biological parent to voluntarily relinquish their parental rights. This document legally terminates the parental rights of a parent in order to allow an adult to assume the parental role. There are two types of Pennsylvania Final Decree to Voluntarily Relinquish Parental Rights to Adults: Uncontested and Contested. An Uncontested Final Decree is issued when both parties agree to the relinquishment of parental rights. The document must be signed by both the parent and the adult, and then submitted to the court for approval. Once the court approves the document, the parent's rights are terminated. A Contested Final Decree is issued when the biological parent does not agree to relinquish their parental rights. In this situation, the court will hold a hearing to determine whether the parent's rights should be terminated. The court will consider factors such as the best interests of the child, the financial and emotional stability of the adult, and the relationship between the parent and the adult. If the court finds that the adult is capable of assuming the parental role, then the parent's rights will be terminated and the adult will be granted full parental rights. In either case, the Pennsylvania Final Decree to Voluntarily Relinquish Parental Rights to Adults is a legal document that is used to terminate the parental rights of a biological parent in order to allow an adult to assume the parental role.
