Is there any place on the web I can see examples of answers or get help with wording, without going to my attorney. I think I could do it if I could see some examples. My attorney will obviously read my answers but if I could just get the preliminary work done it would help.

According to our attorney, parents whom abandon their children for 1 year or more are in jeapordy of losing their parental rights. My husband and I are going to trial to terminate his parental rights. If the bio father has had nothing to do with the child for 8 yrs now, I say he doesn't have a prayer. How does the child feel about this?
