The Wisconsin Order Concerning Termination of Parental Rights (Voluntary) — Indian Child Welfare Act is a document used to legally terminate the parental rights of a parent or guardian, usually due to the best interests of the child. The Indian Child Welfare Act (IOWA) is a federal law that seeks to preserve the cultural heritage of Native American children and families. Under this law, a tribal court may issue an order to terminate a parent’s or guardian’s rights in order to place the child with a Native American family. The Wisconsin Order Concerning Termination of Parental Rights (Voluntary) — Indian Child Welfare Act has two types of orders: 1) a voluntary termination of parental rights and 2) an involuntary termination of parental rights. In a voluntary termination, the parent or guardian voluntarily agrees to terminate his or her rights, usually for the purpose of adoption. In an involuntary termination, the court orders the termination of parental rights and the parent or guardian is not able to contest the decision. The Wisconsin Order Concerning Termination of Parental Rights (Voluntary) — Indian Child Welfare Act must include the parent or guardian’s name, address, and tribal affiliation, as well as the name of the child, the reason for the termination of parental rights, and the date of the order. The order must also be signed by the tribal court judge.
