I have had gaurdianship of my grandson for 9 months now and father is in prison and mother still has done nothing to better her situation how do I go about getting there rights severed?

Answer 1

To terminate parental rights, a person, agency or institution must file a request in the chancery court of the county where the child lives. The mother, legal father and biological father become parties in the action, and the court appoints a guardian to oversee the child's interests temporarily. Several different grounds exist for such action, including repeated abusive acts by the parent or a parent's abandonment of a child under the age of three for six months or over age three for one year. This varies by state.
