§ 128.110. Order terminating parental rights; preference for placement of child with certain relatives and siblings of child; period for completion of search for relative
1. Whenever the procedure described in this chapter has been followed, and upon finding
grounds for the termination of parental rights pursuant to NRS 128.105 at a hearing upon the petition, the court shall make a written order, signed by the
judge presiding in the court, judicially depriving the parent or parents of the custody
and control of, and terminating the parental rights of the parent or parents with
respect to the child, and declaring the child to be free from such custody or control,
and placing the custody and control of the child in some person or agency qualified
by the laws of this State to provide services and care to children, or to receive
any children for placement. The termination of parental rights pursuant to this section does not terminate the
right of the child to inherit from his or her parent or parents, except that the right
to inherit terminates if the child is adopted as provided in NRS 127.160 . 2. If the child is placed in the custody and control of a person or agency qualified
by the laws of this State to receive children for placement, the person or agency,
in seeking to place the child: (a) May give preference to the placement of the child with any person related within
the fifth degree of consanguinity to the child whom the person or agency finds suitable
and able to provide proper care and guidance for the child, regardless of whether
the relative resides within this State. (b) Shall, if practicable, give preference to the placement of the child together
with his or her siblings. Any search for a relative with whom to place a child pursuant to this subsection must
be completed within 1 year after the initial placement of the child outside of his
or her home.
