Q: can someone who has had their parental rights terminated, gain their rights back in the state of georgia?
Georgia? the mom was relatively young, her husband left, she dropped the ball. The child ended up with a really bad ear infection. The moms older sister petitioned the courts for custody of said child. Took the mom as well as the husband(whom was on the aunts side) and they had the mom sign her rights away basically telling her she had to. The husband also signed his away. Three yrs have passed and now the mom has matured and has herself together and wants her child back with her. She has remained in the childs life this whole time, seeing her on the weekends. Does she have a chance of getting her rights reinstated? She is engaged and has plans to marry a young man this coming September. He is in the military, they have great plans for the future. just throwing that in to let the situation show more, tho I know its irrelevant to my question. Thanks in advance for your help.
