Terminating parental rights is usually essential for the best interests of a child to be maintained. In order for adoption to take place by a new parent, a former parent's rights must be ended in order for a new person to take a legally recognized role as a parent in the child's life. If this is the situation that you have found yourself in, Reno adoption lawyer Eric Stovall can help you resolve this issue and explain Nevada parental rights.

Termination of parental rights could be necessitated by several different reasons including:

• The parent’s involvement in or abuse of illegal drugs or other criminal activity
