Consent To Termination And Transfer Of Parental Rights {140}

Form 140 - CONSENT TO TERMINATE AND TRANSFER PARENTAL RIGHTS. This form from the Family Court of the State of Delaware is used when a parent voluntarily agrees to permanently terminate their legal rights and responsibilities to a child for the purpose of adoption. This form is typically completed by a biological parent who consents to transfer their parental rights either to the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth, and Their Families, an approved adoption agency, or directly to chosen adoptive parents. By signing the form, the parent acknowledges the seriousness and finality of this decision, including the loss of all legal rights to the child—such as custody, visitation, and inheritance—while still being liable for any outstanding child support arrears. The form outlines limited circumstances under which the consent may be revoked, such as within 14 days of signing, by agreement of the parties, or if the consent was obtained by fraud or duress. It also includes a statement confirming that the parent has read and understood the legal implications of the decision and that the consent was given voluntarily. An authorized official must witness and certify the parent’s understanding and voluntary execution of the consent. www.FormsWorkflow.com
