Do persons convicted of felonies automatically lose their parental rights?
Not automatically but it could be grounds for involuntary termination of their parental rights. Here are a couple of links that state the different circumstances in which someone’s parental rights can be terminated in the State of Tennessee: http://www.childwelfare.gov/systemwide/laws_policies/statutes/groundterminall.pdf http://www.ncsconline.org/WC/CourTopics/StateLinks.asp?id=83 I hope these links were helpful.
