incapacitated parents

Incapacitated parents are those who are unable to properly care for their children due to physical or mental health issues, substance abuse, or other challenges that impair their judgment or ability to provide basic needs. In such cases, a court may intervene to ensure the child's safety and well-being, appointing a temporary or permanent guardian to oversee their care. This process helps protect children when their parents are unable to fulfill their responsibilities, while also considering the rights and dignity of the parents involved.
