How to give up custody of your child

Family Law Self-Help Center - Overview of Termination of Parental Rights

The information on this page only applies if the child lives in Nevada. If the child lives somewhere else, check with your local court to find out the laws and process to terminate rights.

What is Termination of Parental Rights?

Terminating a parent’s rights means that the person’s rights as a parent are taken away. The person is not the child’s legal parent anymore. This means:

The parent-child relationship no longer exists.
The parent no longer gets to raise the child.
The parent usually has no right to visit or talk with the child.
The parent no longer has to pay child support.
The parent is removed from the child’s birth certificate.
The child can be adopted without the parent’s permission.

Terminating a parent’s rights has been called the “civil death penalty” and is taken very seriously by judges. Judges do not terminate a parent’s rights unless there is a very good reason. This page contains answers to the most common questions about terminating parental rights.

Do I Need An Attorney?

CAUTION!

The information here applies to private terminations between family members only. If you are involved with Child Protective Services ("CPS") with the Clark County Department of Family Services ("DFS"), the state can ask the court to terminate parental rights in very serious cases. There may be different rules and procedures that apply in those cases. You can learn more about CPS and DFS by visiting their website or visiting the Child Protection page.

Who Can Terminate a Parent’s Rights?

A parent, guardian, or other family member can file a petition asking to terminate a parent’s rights. If the child or the petitioner receive public assistance (such as TANF or SNAP), it is unlikely that a judge will terminate the parent’s rights. In that event, the Child Support office must be notified of a termination case and may oppose the termination if public assistance is being provided.

If CPS has been involved with a family, the Department of Family Services (“DFS”) can file a petition asking a judge to terminate a parent’s rights. This usually happens after DFS has been involved with the family for a year or more to try and fix the problems. If the parent does not make progress, or if the problems are very serious, DFS can ask the District Attorney to file a termination of parental rights case.

Can I give up my rights?

Usually not. Judges want children to have two parents to provide emotional and financial support. You cannot give up your parental rights to avoid dealing with a child’s behavioral problems, and you cannot give up your parental rights to avoid paying child support.

You may voluntarily give up your parental rights if someone else wants to adopt the child, or if someone else has filed a petition to terminate your rights. You will typically need to go to a court hearing to let the judge know your wishes in person.

What are the reasons to terminate a parent’s rights?

In Nevada, there are several different reasons a judge can terminate a parent’s rights:

Abandonment. This is behavior that shows the parent intends to give up all rights to the child. Usually, this means that a parent has not contacted the child and has not provided any financial support to the child for at least 6 months without a good reason.
Neglect. The parent has not properly cared for the child’s needs, including providing food, shelter, medical care, education, or any other special care needed for the child.
The Parent is Unfit. An unfit parent is one who can’t or won’t provide the child with proper care, guidance, and support.
There is a Serious Risk of Physical, Emotional, or Mental Injury if the Child is Returned to the Parent. The child would be in danger with the parent.
Token Efforts. The parent has made minimal effort to support the child, communicate with the child, or otherwise care for the child.
Failure of Parental Adjustment. If CPS removed a child from the home, the parent only has so much time to correct the reasons that caused the child to be removed. If the parents do not correct those problems within a “reasonable time,” the state can petition to terminate their rights.
Sexual Assault. If the child was conceived as a result of a sexual assault and the parent was convicted for sexual assault, their rights can be terminated.

No matter what, the judge also has to decide that it would be in the children’s best interest to terminate the parent’s rights. The person asking to terminate the parent’s rights has to prove by “clear and convincing evidence” that one of the grounds above exists, and that termination would be in the child’s best interest. This is a very high standard.

Where do I file?

You can file for termination in the District Court of the county where the child lives. You can also file in the county where one of the parents lives.

WARNING!

If the child is an American Indian child, these matters usually must be handled by the tribal court. Check with the tribal court before filing any papers to be sure you are fiilng in the correct court.

I haven’t heard from the other parent in years. Is there a fast way to terminate their rights?

No. In fact, it may take longer to terminate their rights if you don’t know where the parent is.

If you file a case against the other parent, you have to make sure that person is “served” in person with copies of the legal papers you filed. This allows the parent to show up in court and defend themselves if they want.

If you do not know where the other parent is, the judge will expect you to do everything you can possibly do to find the parent. This includes checking with mutual friends, their family, their employer, looking for the person online or through email, etc. If you still cannot find the other parent, you can ask the judge’s permission to post a notice in a newspaper instead. Judges do not allow this unless you have really tried everything you can think of to find the other parent without any luck.

If the judge allows you to post a notice in a newspaper, you will have to publish a notice for 4 weeks AND ALSO have the parent’s nearest known relative living in Nevada served in person with the papers.

Do I need an attorney?

Terminating someone’s parental rights is a very serious matter. It is a good idea to have a lawyer help you since there are complicated laws and procedures that have to be followed. You can learn where to find an attorney on the Lawyers & Legal Help page.

If DFS filed a case asking to terminate your rights, an attorney will usually be appointed to represent you for free. If the other parent filed a case against you, you should seriously considering hiring an attorney to defend you.

How to Transfer Child Custody Without a Lawyer

By Melissa Heinig, Attorney

How Do I Transfer Child Custody?

It's not easy to think about, but circumstances may arise when you need to ask someone to care for your children when life gets complicated. Whether you're thinking about giving custodial authority to a family member or custody to the other legal parent, you must follow the law. If you already have a custody order from the courts, the only ways you can transfer custody are to either:

put an agreement in writing with the other parent, or
ask the court to modify your custody order.

If you're married and separating or divorcing, and you have been the child's primary caregiver, you and the other parent can agree on an informal custody arrangement until your court hearing. If you disagree or are unmarried and do not have a custody order, you may need to request temporary custody orders while waiting for the court to finalize your case.

What Sort of Documentation Do You Need to Transfer Custody?

The first step in transferring custody is to review your current custody order. If you share custody with the child's other parent, you must have permission before you change the custody arrangement.

If the other parent disagrees, you'll need to file a formal request (motion) with the court to change the order. While state law varies, most states require a parent to demonstrate that there's been a change of circumstances that would require a modification to the custody order. You'll also need to convince the court that a transfer of custody would benefit the child's best interest.

Getting a formal agreement

Whether you're transferring custody between legal parents or you're delegating authority to a family member, to do it properly and protect yourself in the future, you'll need to draw up an agreement between you and the parent or guardian. You can do this without a lawyer, but you'll need to present this agreement to the local court for a judge's approval. If you try to skip the court altogether, you put yourself at risk. More often than you'd imagine, the parent giving up custody will have a change of heart after a while and then denies there ever was any agreement.

Ensure the agreement is clear and includes provisions for the child's legal and physical custody, visitation arrangements, and child support. The agreement needs to make the important points in writing and include both parents' and guardians' names and include the child's name and birthdate. Then be sure you all sign the agreement in front of a notary public before you submit it to the court.

Do You Need a Lawyer to Transfer Custody?

Parents who are transferring custody to another biological parent do not need to hire a lawyer to complete the process. If both parents agree to all the terms of the written agreement, the court will generally accept it. However, if either parent disagrees or attempts to transfer care of their child to someone else, the process may be more complex and require a lawyer. Regardless of the circumstances, both parents will benefit from hiring independent attorneys to review any agreements and protect each parent's rights.

Do I Have to Transfer Custody to Family?

Child custody is a serious matter that only parents and the courts can decide. Parents can't allocate custody to a third party without court involvement. However, parents can delegate legal authority to a family member or friend, with the intent that the person will have physical custody and care of the child. Unless the parent or guardian went through the proper legal channels to obtain legal guardianship, the parents could revoke authority at any time.

Parents who wish to transfer custody to someone other than the child's other legal parent must go through the court system. The court will evaluate the case and only transfer custody if it's in the child's best interests.

What About Child Support?

In all 50 states, the law requires parents to support their child financially, and every child custody order contains a provision for child support. If you're transferring custody between biological parents, your agreement must include child support guidelines, including which parent will pay and how much. Some states require you to complete and sign a form separate from the custody agreement, which outlines the specific terms for child support.

If you're a parent currently paying support and you've agreed to become the child's primary caregiver, the first step is for you to forward your agreements to the court that handled your divorce or original custody case. In many cases, you can include a letter asking a judge to adopt the new agreement as a court order and request an order from the judge canceling the deductions from your paycheck. A sympathetic judge will give you what you need to take to the payroll office and cancel the child support payments. An unsympathetic judge may tell you that you need to hire a lawyer for the job. But in truth, it is a straightforward procedure, and you should be able to do the necessary paperwork.

The parent accepting custody must continue to pay court-ordered support until the court adopts the new order. Otherwise, the parent can get stuck with paying back child support, even though the parents transferred custody to the paying parent.

How to refuse guardianship. Application for waiver of guardianship

To write and submit an application for waiver of guardianship, you need to carefully read the laws governing custody issues.

For children under the age of 14, who are recognized by the court as incapable (in need of guardianship), a guardian is appointed. Trustees or guardians are representatives who are authorized by the legislation of the Russian Federation to perform various actions of a legal nature in the interests of the wards or on their behalf.

Termination of guardianship obligations

Guardianship is always terminated when the court recognizes the child being cared for as capable. But guardianship obligations may terminate for other reasons. In particular:

A minor has reached the age of 14. If necessary, a guardian is appointed for a teenager for a period of up to eighteen years. The basis for the cancellation of guardianship will be a court decision.
Guardianship ends if one of the parties (guardian or ward) dies. In this situation, a death certificate (copy) is presented to the guardianship authority. If the guardian has died, the guardianship and guardianship authorities may appoint another guardian.
Refusal of guardianship in accordance with the decision of the guardianship authorities is mandatory if the minor is adopted or returned to be raised by his birth parents. In this case, you need to apply with a written request (application "Refusal of guardianship") to the local guardianship authorities. Based on this document, guardianship will be canceled.
At the request of the guardian, termination of guardianship is also possible. Such a verdict is issued by the guardianship and guardianship authorities in the event of a conflict between the interests of the ward and the trustee. For example, when choosing a future educational institution or when disagreements arise in matters of alienation of property.

When terminating the relationship between the guardian and the ward, it is necessary to pay attention to the terms for the provision of a guardian, which are prescribed in the current act of guardianship. After the expiration of the period, it is necessary to extend the legal relationship or refuse guardianship for the reasons indicated above.

Monitoring the legality of the actions of the guardian

The actions of the guardian are always subject to strict supervision to control the following issues:

how carefully and conscientiously the duties of guardianship are carried out;
whether the legitimate interests and rights of the ward are violated;
whether the guardian exerts psychological pressure on the ward;
whether the ward is systematically (more than twice) left without the necessary assistance and supervision;
whether the guardian uses methods of physical coercion;
whether the guardian is pursuing any selfish goals.

The guardian is obliged to familiarize himself with the list of his duties and sign the corresponding document. In the event of a single removal of the guardian from his duties, repeated guardianship cannot be appointed even over another ward.
