What are some actual circumstances, other than drug abuse, can a non custodial parents rights be terminated in family court? I know it’s done, but people are always so secretive about how it gets done. What gives?
Best answer:
Answer by max’s mom
terminating parental rights is a big deal but if the circumstances warrant it, it can be done.The first example I can think of is the noncustodial parent putting the child in danger, either by abuse (physical, emotional or sexual) putting the kids in danger (i.e. having guns around the house, doing dangerous activities that always get the kids hurt, or a psychologist could say it is in the kids’ best interests. or perhaps the noncustodial parent is unstable and won’t get treatment for a condition he or she has, like depression, drinking, anger.

Physical abuse, sexual abuse, drugs.
Thats about it. Completely terminating parental rights is an extreme measure, and is not something that is taken lightly.
It is not very common for this to happen, in fact, it is extremely rare. Courts often look for ways to maintain rights by encouraging non-custodial parents to undergo therapy or treatment and to continue to allow supervised visitation.
Sexually molesting the child. That’s just about it. Drugs aren’t enough to get parental rights terminated. It is enough to get supervised visitation. Almost any father can at least get supervised visitation. The only time a court will prevent any type of visitation is if just the sight of the parent could cause problems. And child support would still be required.
Adoption. That’s the other way parental rights are terminated.
