Termination and Relinquishment of Parental
Rights
A termination of parental rights is an
order from the Court that severs the rights, powers, privileges,
immunities, duties and obligations between a parent and child.
-Under what conditions will the Colorado Courts terminate a
parent-child relationship?
Essentially, a child can be legally taken
away in the case of “extreme disinterest” or if the Court determines
that a parent is unfit and that “no appropriate treatment can be devised
to address the unfitness of the parent or parents.”

contains the text of Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 19-3-604 as well as a
