In re N.R.A.

The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court terminating Mother’s parental rights to her two children.The Department of Public Health and Human Services, Child and Family Services Division (DPHHS) filed a petition to terminate Mother’s parental rights based on her failure to complete her second treatment plan. That same day, Mother notified DPHHS that she wanted to relinquish her parental rights. Mother then signed an affidavit waiving all her parental rights and relinquishing her children for adoption. Thereafter, Mother moved to revoke her relinquishment of parental rights. The district court denied the motion. Based on the relinquishment, the district court terminated Mother’s parental rights. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err by denying Mother’s motion to set aside her relinquishment of parental rights where Mother’s relinquishment was not obtained by duress.
