By Order for Service by Publication dated the 23rd day of February, 2024, you are hereby notified that on the 16th day of November, 2023, the Union County Department of Family and Children Services, Georgia Department of Human Services, filed a Petition for Termination of Parental Rights against you as to the above-named child, and this Court found it to be in the child’s best interest that the Petition be filed.  You are required to file with the Clerk of Juvenile Court, and to serve upon Special Assistant Attorney General Stephany L. Zaic an answer in writing within sixty (60) days of the date of the Order for Service by Publication.  This notice is being sent to you pursuant to the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 15-11-281 and 282.  A copy of the Petition for Termination of Parental Rights may be obtained by you from the Clerk at the Union County Courthouse during business hours.  The hearing on the Petition for Termination of Parental Rights is for the purpose of terminating your parental rights.

 If the Court at the trial finds that the facts set out in the Petition to Terminate Parental Rights are true and that termination of your rights will serve the best interests of your child, the Court can enter a judgment ending your rights to your child.

 If the judgment terminates your parental rights, you will no longer have any rights to your child.  This means that you will not have the right to visit, contact, or have custody of your child or make any decisions affecting your child or your child’s earnings or property. You will not thereafter be entitled to notice of proceedings for the adoption of the above-named child by another, nor will you have any right to object to the adoption or otherwise to participate in the proceedings.  Your child will be legally freed to be adopted by someone else.

 Even if your parental rights are terminated:

1) You will still be responsible for providing financial support (child support payments) for your child’s care unless and until your child is adopted;

2) Your child can still inherit from you unless and until your child is adopted; and

3) Your child can still pursue any civil action against you.

Under the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 15-11-260, et seq., you may lose all rights to the above-named child and will not be entitled to object to the termination of your rights to these child unless, within thirty (30) days of your receipt of this NOTICE TO PUTATIVE FATHER, you file:

a) A petition to legitimate the child; and

b) Notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the Juvenile Court of Union County.

If you fail to file a timely petition to legitimate the child and notice (as described above) or if your petition to legitimate is subsequently dismissed for failure to prosecute or the Court does not find that you are the legal father of the child named in your petition to legitimate, this Court may enter an order terminating your parental rights, including any right to object thereafter to such proceedings.

This Court will conduct a provisional hearing upon the allegations of the Petition on the 2nd and 3rd day of April, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., at the Union County Courthouse, Blairsville, Georgia

This Court will conduct a final hearing upon the allegations of the Petition and enter an order of disposition on the 1st day of May, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., at the Towns County Courthouse, Hiawassee, Georgia.

The child and other parties involved may be represented by a lawyer at all stages of these proceedings.  If you want a lawyer, you may choose and hire your own lawyer.  If you want to hire a lawyer, please contact your lawyer immediately.  If you want a lawyer but are not able to hire a lawyer without undue financial hardship, you may ask for a lawyer to be appointed to represent you.  The Court would inquire into your financial circumstances and if the Court finds you to be financially unable to hire a lawyer, then a lawyer will be appointed to represent you.  If you want a lawyer appointed to represent you, you must let the Court or the officer of this Court handling this case know that you want a lawyer immediately.

 WITNESS, the Honorable Jeremy Clough, Judge of said Court, this the 23rd day of February, 2024.
