SUMMONS
FOR PETITION TO TERMINATE PARENTAL
TO: ANY UNKNOWN UNNAMED PUTATIVE FATHERS
By Order for Service by Publication dated SEPTEMBER 21, 2020, you are required to appear before the Juvenile Court of DODGE County, Georgia to answer the allegations of a Petition to Terminate Parental Rights filed on SEPTEMBER 28, 2020, by the DODGE County Department of Family and Children Services. You may obtain a free copy of the petition directly or by mail from the clerk of said court.  The general nature of the allegations are that the child is a dependent child and the dependent state is likely to continue and cause serious physical, mental, emotional, or moral harm to the child unless the rights of the parents are terminated.
The court hearing of your case has been scheduled for 4th day of FEBRUARY, 2021, at 1:30 p.m., for the JUVENILE COURT OF DODGE COUNTY TO BE HEARD AT THE DODGE COUNTY COURTROOM IN EASTMAN, GEORGIA AT THE DODGE COUNTY AT&T BUILDING ON PEARL BATES AVENUE in Eastman, Georgia.
The court at trial can enter a judgment ending your rights to the child if you fail to appear and show cause why your parental rights should not be terminated.  A biological father may lose all rights to the child and not be entitled to object to the termination of his rights unless, within 30 days of receipt of this notice, he files: (1) a petition to legitimate the child; and (2) a notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the Juvenile Court of DODGE, Georgia.
A party has the right to an attorney in this proceeding.  If you are unable to hire an attorney, the Court will appoint one for you if you are an indigent person.
If you have any questions concerning this notice of summons, contact the clerk’s office at (478) 374-2871.
WITNESS the Honorable Dennis Mullis, Judge of said court, this the
17th day of NOVEMBER, 2020.
