The petition alleges that the above-named children are dependent children and that it would be in the children's best interest that the parents' parental rights be terminated. A copy of the petition may be obtained from the Clerk of the Dawson County Juvenile Court at 25 Justice Way, Dawsonville, Georgia 30534. The children are currently in the temporary custody of the Dawson County Department of Family and Children Services. THEREFORE, YOU ARE COMMANDED AND REQUIRED to appear before the Dawson County Juvenile Court, 25 Justice Way, 3rd Floor, Dawsonville, Georgia 30534 on the 13th day of February 2025 at 8:30 a.m. The effect of the termination order requested shall be to terminate the parental rights and obligations of the parents with respect to the above-named children, including rights of inheritance. A Pre-Trial conference is scheduled for January 16, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. READ CAREFULLY NOTICE OF EFFECT OF TERMINATION JUDGMENT Georgia law provides that you can permanently lose your rights as a parent. A petition to terminate parental rights has been filed requesting the court to terminate your parental rights to your children. A court hearing of your case has been scheduled for February 13, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. o'clock at the Dawson County Juvenile Court. If you fail to appear, the court can terminate your parental rights in your absence. 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 children, the court can enter a judgment ending your rights to your children. If the judgment terminates your parental rights, you will no longer have any rights to your children. This means that you will not have the right to visit, contact, or have custody of your children or make any decisions affecting your children or your child's earnings or property. Your children will be legally freed to be adopted by someone else. Even if your parental rights are terminated: (1) You will be responsible for providing financial support (child support payments) for your children's care unless and until your children are adopted; and (2) Your children can still inherit from you unless and until your children are adopted. This is a very serious matter. You should contact an attorney immediately 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 attorney, the court will appoint an attorney if the court finds that you are an indigent person. Whether or not you decide to hire an attorney, you have the right to attend the hearing of your case, to call witnesses on your behalf, and to question those witnesses on brought against 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. If you have any questions concerning this notice, you may call the telephone number of the clerk's office which is: 706-344-3510. WITNESS the Honorable Amber Sowers, Judge of said Court.
