Originally presented on: August 28, 2019
The ability to terminate the parental rights of a party over a child is one of the most severe consequences imposed by juvenile courts in the state. Unlike traditional plaintiff versus defendant litigation, clients who find themselves facing a termination proceeding also have to address issues relating to Children’s Division, Court Appointed Advocates, Guardians ad Litem, and the Juvenile Office. This can often lead to confusion not only for the client, but for a practitioner who is unprepared for the nuances of termination litigation.
This program will give an overview of basic grounds for termination, procedures for hearing, and common considerations when prosecuting or defending a termination action.
Speaker: J. Benjamin Verkamp, The Verkamp Law Firm LLC, Rolla
