Wisconsin Petition for Termination of Parental Rights is a legal document used to permanently end the legal and financial responsibilities of one or both parents of a minor child. This petition is used when the parent(s) are no longer able or willing to care for the child. There are two types of Wisconsin Petition for Termination of Parental Rights: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary petition is when one or both parents agree to surrender their parental rights, while an involuntary petition is when the court orders the termination of parental rights due to neglect, abuse, or abandonment. Once the petition is filed, the court will hold a hearing to decide if termination of parental rights is in the best interest of the child.
