They are staying with their uncle as of now I have a cps case open and only get a hour a week with them would it be better if I signed my rights over so I can work on me

A: If you terminate your parental rights, it terminates all your rights. Whether you see them would be solely up to the uncle.

A: In Kentucky, if you voluntarily terminate your parental rights to your children and the court approves the termination, you will no longer have any legal rights or responsibilities as a parent. This means you will no longer have visitation rights or any say in their upbringing, and you will not be obligated to provide financial support.
