Understanding the Process of Reclaiming Parental Rights
What do you do if you’ve signed away your parental rights and you’re wanting to get them back? Hi, my name is Carl Birkhead. I’m a Tulsa family attorney with Wirth Law Office in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’ve been practicing family and criminal law for over seven years now, and I want to help you make law easy by just talking a little bit about your parental rights, how you lose them, and if there might be a way that you can get them back.
Many parents believe they’ve permanently lost their rights after signing over custody, but that’s not always the case. If you agreed to give up custody or visitation, your parental rights are likely still intact, meaning you may be able to petition for visitation or a more structured role in your child’s life. Courts won’t modify custody just because your situation has improved, but they will consider changes that allow you to be involved.
Exploring Your Legal Options
However, if you legally terminated your rights for an adoption, reversing that is far more difficult and usually requires proving fraud or mistake. If you’re looking to reestablish your rights or regain time with your child, call us to explore your options. My name is Carl Birkhead. I’m a Tulsa parental rights attorney with Wirth Law Office, and I want to help you make law easy.
