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

This bill amends New Jersey law to allow termination of parental rights when a parent is convicted of murdering the child's other parent, or aiding/abetting such murder, or committing a serious assault that caused death or injury to the other parent. It directly affects parents convicted of these specific offenses and the child whose safety is at issue. The Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP) must file a petition to terminate parental rights in these cases, but may consider if the parent was a domestic violence victim or acting in self-defense at the time of the offense. The law expands existing provisions that previously only covered murder of the child or other children, now including the child's other parent as a protected individual.
