Amends the procedure for filing a petition to terminate parental rights and responsibilities in Maine.
This bill modifies the process for filing a petition to terminate parental rights and responsibilities in Maine. It removes the requirement that such a petition must be filed in the same case as any prior adjudication of parental rights and responsibilities. The petition must still be filed in the District Court and must include specific details such as the petitioner's relationship to the child, the child's parents' names, and a summary of the alleged facts supporting termination.
