A quick definition of termination hearing:

A termination hearing is a legal meeting where a judge decides if a parent's rights to their child should be taken away. It's usually open to the public and can have witnesses. There are many types of hearings, like ones for child custody or criminal cases. In child abuse or neglect cases, there are also adjudication and disposition hearings. A shelter hearing is held when a child is removed from their home, and a permanency hearing decides what will happen to a child in foster care. A revocation hearing is held when a parolee breaks the rules of their parole.

A more thorough explanation:

A termination hearing is a legal proceeding where a judge decides whether to end a parent's rights to their child. This type of hearing is also known as a termination-of-parental-rights hearing.

For example, if a child has been in foster care for a long time and the parents have not made progress in addressing the issues that led to the child's removal, the state may seek to terminate the parents' rights to the child. At the termination hearing, the judge will hear evidence and decide whether it is in the child's best interest to end the parent-child relationship.
