By ORDER FOR SERVICE BY PUBLICATION dated FEBRUARY 27, 2018 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 MARCH 5, 2018, by the Dodge County Department of Family and Children Services.

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 COUNTY, 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.
