above-styled action has been
brought by the Toombs County
Division of Family and Children
Services, and the Georgia De
partment of Human Services,
seeking to terminate your paren
tal rights with regard to the
above- referenced child; that said
action has been filed in the Juve
nile Court of Toombs County,
Georgia; and that by reason of an
Order for Service of Summons by
Publication dated
June 8, 2023, you are hereby
notified that you may obtain a
copy of the petition from the Clerk
of the Juvenile Court of Toombs
County, Georgia and may file with
the Clerk of said
Court, and serve upon Jenifer T.
McComas, Petitioner’s Attorney,
whose mailing address is 128

30474, an answer to the petition
at any time prior
to the Final Hearing.
The final hearing in this matter is
scheduled on December 5, 2023,
at 10:00 a.m. at the Toombs
County Courthouse in Lyons,
Georgia. You are hereby com
manded and required to appear
before this Court at said final
hearing.
Be advised you must attend the
final hearing in order to preserve
your rights. At the final hearing
you will be given an opportunity
to show cause, if any you have,
why the relief requested in the
petition should not be granted.
If you fail to appear, the court can
terminate your parental rights in
your absence. Any biological fa
ther, known or unknown, is
hereby notified that he will lose
all rights to the child and will not
be entitled to object to the termi
nation of his rights to the
child unless, within thirty days of
receipt of this notice, he files:
(a) a petition to legitimate the
child pursuant to O.C.G.A. §19-7-

(b) notice of the filing of the peti

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.
Your child will be legally freed to
be adopted by someone else.

providing financial support (child
support
payments) for your child’s care
unless and until your child is ad
opted; and
(2) Your child can still inherit from
you unless and until your child is
adopted.
This is a very serious matter. You
should contact an attorney im
mediately so that
you can be prepared for the court
hearing. You have the right to
hire an attorney and to
have him or her represent you. If
you cannot afford to hire an at
torney, the court will appoint an
attorney if the court finds that you
are an indigent person. Whether
or not you decide to hire an at
torney, you have the right to at
tend the hearing of your case, to
call witnesses on your behalf,
and to question those witnesses
brought against you.
A copy of this petition may be
obtained at no charge from the
Office of the Clerk of Court be
tween the hours of 9:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m., Monday through Fri
day. If you have any questions
