TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS (TPR) Parent Defense Attorney

Defending Parents in Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) Proceedings

At Roach Law PLLC, we understand that few situations are as emotionally overwhelming and high-stakes as a termination of parental rights (TPR) proceeding. Losing the right to raise and care for your child can feel devastating. As an experienced parent defense and family law attorney, attorney John E. Roach is here to provide the compassionate support and tenacious legal advocacy you need to fight for your parental rights.

What Is a Termination of Parental Rights Proceeding?

A termination of parental rights proceeding is a legal process where a court removes a parent’s legal rights and responsibilities to their child. These cases may arise in various situations, such as:

  • Allegations of abuse or neglect

  • Claims of abandonment

  • Failure to comply with court-ordered reunification plans

  • Situations involving step-parent adoptions or foster care placements

These proceedings are most commonly initiated by the State, although in some circumstances they may be brought by another parent. Regardless of the circumstances, the stakes are incredibly high, and the outcome can permanently alter your family’s future.

How Roach Law PLLC Can Help

Attorney John E. Roach has defended numerous individuals in CHIPS and Permanency matters and he is committed to defending your rights as a parent and ensuring you have a voice in the courtroom. Here’s how John approaches TPR defense:

1. Thorough Case Evaluation

John begins by reviewing every detail of your case, including allegations, evidence, and procedural history. The goal is to identify strengths in your defense and uncover weaknesses in the opposing party’s claims. It is crucial to obtain a full picture of the case against you, and the strength of any evidence behind the allegations made in support of the TPR Petition.

2. Building a Strong Defense

TPR cases often rely on subjective judgments about a parent’s fitness. John works closely with parents in TPR matters to gather evidence, such as:

  • Testimony from family members, friends, or professionals who can attest to your parenting abilities.

  • Documentation of compliance with court-ordered plans, therapy, or substance abuse treatment.

  • Expert opinions from psychologists, social workers, or other professionals.

3. Challenging Evidence Against You

Attorney John E. Roach scrutinizes the evidence presented by the opposing party or state to ensure it meets legal standards. Many TPR cases hinge on incomplete or biased information. John fights to ensure that only credible, admissible evidence is considered.

4. Advocating for Reunification
