My question involves a child custody case from the State of Nebraska. I am a single father and have full legal and physical custody of my minor child. The mother's parental rights were never terminated as far as I can tell. The mother "is unable to discharge parental responsibilities because of mental illness or mental deficiency, and there are reasonable grounds to believe that such condition will continue for a prolonged indeterminate period." What is my first step here to begin termination proceedings? Will I need a lawyer for this?
