"Addi's Law"; makes parent's conviction for murder of child's other parent grounds for termination of parental rights.

This bill (A1369, "Addi's Law") amends New Jersey law to allow termination of a parent's rights if they are convicted of murdering the child's other parent, or aiding/abetting such a crime. It directly affects parents convicted of these offenses and their children, requiring the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP) to file termination petitions in these cases. The key mechanism updates existing law to include the child's other parent as a protected party, previously only covering offenses against the child themselves. The bill also permits DCPP to consider whether the parent was a domestic violence victim or acting in self-defense before filing, adding a safety check to the process.
