Termination of parental rights in Arizona refers to the process of permanently ending a parent’s legal rights, duties, responsibilities, and privileges to their child. If a child’s safety and wellbeing is in jeopardy, an individual can file to terminate parental rights. If the petition is successful, the parent-child relationship will be legally terminated.
Arizona Revised Statutes § 8-533, lists eleven grounds for the termination of parental rights.
