In simplest terms, termination of parental rights in the state of Michigan means what it says; the rights of the parent to the child have been ended. This is not to say that the rights of the child to the parent have ended as well. Parents whose rights have been terminated may still be required to pay support for the child to the guardian of that child--even if that child has been adopted by another party. Termination of a parents rights in Michigan may be voluntary (as in "Baby Drop Off") or court ordered as is initiated automatically in the event of two or more years of incarceration. For more detailed explanation of the law specific to Michigan, please see the link below.

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

If the child has been adopted you have no rights to this child any more you should speak with a lawyer from the state were the child lives. * No. When a parent(s) are granted a voluntary termination of parental rights or such rights are terminated by the court for reasons of abuse or neglect it is permanent and cannot be revoked or rescinded. This does not mean that the relinquishing parent cannot have contact with the child once said child reaches the legal age of majority (18) if the child is agreeable to a reconciliation.
