A:
If one parent's rights have been terminated, legally they would not have any inherent rights to visitation or custody of the children. The parent with full custody has the discretion to allow the other parent to see the children, but this is a personal choice and not a legal obligation. Should the custodial parent decide to permit visitation, they can set the terms, such as requiring supervision.
It's important for the non-custodial parent to respect these boundaries, as violating them could lead to legal consequences. If circumstances change significantly, the non-custodial parent may consult legal counsel to discuss any potential recourse or modification that might be pursued through the courts.
