See the grounds and adoption plan before the consultation
Your intake asks whether the caller has a qualifying relationship to the child, what grounds they believe justify ending a parent's rights, and whether an adoption or new guardian is already in place — then collects supporting documents before the case lands in your CRM.

The questions your team needs answered
Every termination of parental rights intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you looking to end (terminate) a parent's legal rights to a child in the United States? | Confirms the matter is a U.S. termination proceeding at all, screening out unrelated or out-of-jurisdiction inquiries first. |
| Is the child currently under 18 years old? | Termination generally isn't available once a child reaches adulthood, so this catches cases that are moot before you engage. |
| Do you have a close connection to the child (you are a parent, legal guardian, relative caregiver, or the child's prospective adoptive parent)? | Only certain relationships give someone standing to petition, so this flags callers who may lack legal footing to bring the case. |
| Is there a specific parent whose rights you want to terminate (you know who they are)? | Courts need to notice a known or identifiable parent, so an unnamed parent points to a harder, less immediately actionable case. |
| Is there an adoption planned or another person ready to take legal parental responsibility if the rights are terminated? | Whether an adoption or new guardian is ready shapes both urgency and which legal track the case follows. |
| Do you believe there are serious reasons to ask the court to end that parent's rights (for example, abandonment, long-term lack of contact/support, abuse, neglect, or ongoing dangerous substance use)? | Stated grounds are the legal basis for termination, so a clear answer here indicates whether the case has a viable path forward. |
| Is there already an open court case or involvement from child protective services about this child or parent? | An existing CPS or court case changes jurisdiction and procedure, and matters for spotting conflicts before you take the matter on. |

Built for termination of parental rights workflows
| Cliont capability | Termination Of Parental Rights application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Highest weight is placed on confirming U.S. jurisdiction, a qualifying relationship to the child, a named parent, and stated grounds — so cases missing any of these score lower before you review them. |
| Document collection | Prompts callers to attach records supporting abandonment, neglect, or CPS involvement so you can gauge the strength of the grounds before the first call. |
| CRM routing | Cases where an adoption or new guardian is already in place can be flagged separately from standalone terminations, since the legal path and urgency differ. |
| Lead notifications | Matters that mention an open CPS case or existing court proceeding are surfaced immediately so you can check for conflicts before returning the call. |
Common termination of parental rights lead scenarios
Relative caregiver with adoption lined up
A grandparent or relative raising the child answers yes on connection, grounds, and a ready adoptive parent — the combination the catalog weights highest.
Open CPS case, no adoption yet
A foster or kinship caregiver flags an active child-protective-services case and cites neglect, but no one is yet lined up to take parental responsibility.
Caller unsure who the parent is
Someone wants a parent's rights ended but can't identify a specific parent or articulate grounds — the intake surfaces this gap before you schedule anything.
Stepparent adoption trigger
A stepparent wants an absent biological parent's rights terminated so their spouse can adopt, with a clear connection, named parent, and adoption plan already answered.

Termination of Parental Rights lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake confirm the caller actually has standing to bring this case?
The intake asks directly whether the caller is a parent, legal guardian, relative caregiver, or the child's prospective adoptive parent, so you can see at a glance whether the person on the other end has a recognized connection to the child before you offer time.
What happens if the caller doesn't know who the other parent is?
The intake separately asks whether a specific parent has been identified; a no answer here signals a weaker or more complicated case since termination proceedings generally require notice to a known or identifiable parent.
Does the intake distinguish between cases tied to adoption and standalone terminations?
Yes — a dedicated question asks whether an adoption is planned or another person is ready to take parental responsibility, so you can tell adoption-linked matters apart from terminations with no placement plan yet.
Can the intake tell me if child protective services or a court is already involved?
There's a direct question about whether an existing court case or CPS involvement touches this child or parent, which matters for conflicts, jurisdiction, and whether you'd be entering an active proceeding rather than starting fresh.
How are the stated grounds captured before I speak with the caller?
The intake asks whether the caller believes there are serious grounds such as abandonment, long-term lack of contact or support, abuse, neglect, or dangerous substance use, giving you a first read on the legal basis before the consultation.
What if the child is close to turning 18?
The intake confirms the child is currently under 18, which matters because termination of parental rights generally isn't available once a child reaches adulthood.
