LEGAL EFFECTS OF A TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS DECREE
Termination of parental rights means "the complete severance by court order of the legal relationship, with all of its rights and
responsibilities between the child and his parent or parents so that the child is free for adoption except it shall not affect the right of
inheritance of the child or the religious affiliation of the child." C.G.S. § 45a-707(8).(Inheritance rights cease upon adoption.) No action
taken with respect to the termination of parental rights of one parent affects the parental rights of the other parent.
Upon a decree of termination of parental rights, the parent will NO LONGER have the following rights and responsibilities with
respect to the minor child who is the subject of the decree:
-- the legal right to custody, guardianship, or control of the child. The parent will have no legal right to care for the child or to
make any decisions on behalf of the child
-- the legal right to the child's birth certificate
-- the legal right to any state and federal benefits the parent may have been receiving for the child
-- the legal responsibility to support the child and to pay for the child's maintenance, medical and other expenses, but the
parent MAY be responsible for support of the child until the effective date of the termination
-- the legal responsibility to care for the child or make any decisions on his or her behalf
FURTHERMORE, upon a decree of termination, the child will be legally free for adoption, and the parent will have no right to notice of the
adoption proceedings nor any right to participate in the proceedings.
