A draft of the key evidentiary sections for a TPR petition — organized by statutory ground, with the specific facts of your case structured into legally appropriate language.
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
Help me draft language for a termination of parental rights petition. This is for a child welfare case in [state].
TPR grounds being alleged: [e.g., abandonment / failure to protect / chronic neglect / failure to reunify / unfitness]
Key facts supporting each ground: [bullet points of evidence for each ground]
Child's current situation: [age, time in care, current placement, permanency goal]
Agency reasonable efforts: [list services offered, parent's engagement with each]
For each ground, draft: (1) the factual allegations section, (2) the connection between facts and statutory elements, (3) why TPR is in the child's best interest.
Note: I will have this reviewed by my supervisor and agency attorney before filing.
Tips
List each TPR ground separately with its specific supporting facts — the AI structures the factual allegations more precisely when each ground has its own evidence. Never file without attorney review; use this as a drafting starting point only.
