Here is the situation: a mother temporarily loses custody of her child because she becomes mentally ill and is hospitalized for two months, eventually is stabilized on medications, recieves counseling, and even slowly returns to work. A year later, she obtains custody back of her child. How would you describe her rights? Would her rights have been revoked? Terminated? Temporarily terminated? Legally, what is the best way to describe her parental rights when her daughter was sent to live with relatives while she got treatment?

I would say suspended.
Temporarily revoked is ok too, but suggests that it was clear from the outset that she would get them back, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Of the three choices, temporarily revoked. Terminating implies a finality.

Her rights were suspended.
Her rights were held in abeyance.
