When a parent is unwilling or unable to care for a child, or when a child has suffered abuse or neglect, termination of parental rights often followed by adoption by a family member, stepparent, or third party may be a necessary option for some families. Termination of parental rights is a complex process that carries significant legal, financial, and emotional challenges for everyone involved, particularly the children.

At Medura and Maxwell Family Law, we have the experience and access to the necessary third-party resources to guide families through this difficult process. Whether your case involves the Utah Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) in Juvenile Court or a private action in District Court where only the interested parties are involved, our attorneys are prepared to support you with knowledgeable and compassionate representation.
