What is commonly used as supporting evidence in TPR hearings?
Supporting evidence in TPR hearings is required to substantiate the claims and evidence that led a case to legally qualify for the TPR petition to be filed. Qualified expert witnesses may submit testimony on the diagnosis and prognosis of any physical- or mental-health concerns of the parents and the child, as well as on the history of prior treatment. Testimony may be provided by family members or other individuals involved in the case regarding the behavior of the parents toward the child.
