An act relating to termination of parental rights in an adoption proceeding

This bill proposes to allow courts in adoption cases to consider whether a parent has made regular child support payments when deciding if ending parental rights is in the child's best interest. It would amend existing law regarding the grounds for terminating parental rights, specifically by adding a parent's failure to make support payments as a factor a court may consider. This change would affect parents whose rights are being considered for termination in an adoption proceeding.
