A VICTORY FOR PARENTAL RIGHTS!

The Connecticut Law Tribune recently reported on a case which will have a significant impact on termination of parental rights proceedings.  It begins as follows:

"Elvin G. is a father of two children whose parental rights were terminated while he was serving a lengthy prison sentence for federal firearm charges.

The father challenged the state's decision all the way to the state Supreme Court. He claimed that he should have been given specific steps which, if completed, would have proved he was rehabilitated and prevented the loss of his parental rights. Last week, the state's highest court agreed with his premise, a decision that will change the process the state Department of Children and Families uses when terminating parental rights"
