Termination of Parental Rights Lawyer Nevada

Termination of Parental Rights

Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) cases are among the most serious and emotionally complex matters in Nevada family law. These cases permanently end the legal relationship between a parent and child meaning the stakes are extremely high. Whether you are seeking termination or defending against it, Mabel Law Group provides steady, realistic, and compassionate guidance throughout the entire process.

We help parents and caregivers understand the legal standards, gather evidence, and navigate hearings with clarity and confidence.

Understanding TPR in Nevada

In Nevada, a court will only terminate parental rights when it is convinced that:

1. A statutory ground for termination exists, and
   
   
2. Termination is in the best interests of the child
   

Both elements must be proven with clear and convincing evidence, which is one of the highest burdens in civil law.

Common grounds for TPR may include:

• Chronic neglect or abuse
• Long-term parental unfitness
• Abandonment
• Failure to support or communicate
• Parental rights have already been terminated for another child
• Severe substance abuse concerns
• Situations where reunification efforts have failed
  

Because the consequences are permanent, courts exercise great caution before terminating rights.

When a Parent Seeks Termination

A parent, guardian, or sometimes a prospective adoptive parent may seek TPR when:

• The other parent is absent or uninvolved
• A step-parent wishes to adopt
• The parents’ involvement poses a risk to the child
• The parent has refused to provide care or support
  

We help clients prepare clear, organized evidence and guide them through each step of the process.

When You’re Defending Against Termination

If someone is seeking to terminate your parental rights, it is critical to seek legal support immediately.

We help parents:

• Understand the allegations
• Prepare evidence demonstrating involvement, fitness, and progress
• Comply with case plans or court requirements
• Present a strong, documented defense
• Navigate hearings and negotiations with confidence
  

TPR does not automatically reflect a parent’s love, sometimes it reflects difficult circumstances that require support and advocacy.
