Unidentified Person Termination Of Parent Rights Order Of Notice {JD-JM-61A}

JD-JM-61A - UNIDENTIFIED GENETIC PARENT/TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS ORDER OF NOTICE. This is a Connecticut Superior Court form used in juvenile matters to notify an unidentified genetic parent of legal proceedings seeking to terminate their parental rights. This form is used when the identity or whereabouts of a genetic parent are unknown, and it serves as a public notice to inform them of their right to appear in court and assert parentage under the Connecticut Parentage Act. If the individual believes they are the genetic parent of the child, they must appear at the scheduled court hearing to establish their parental rights. Failure to appear may result in the court proceeding with the termination of parental rights, ultimately freeing the child for adoption. The form also outlines the right to legal counsel, stating that if the genetic parent cannot afford an attorney, they may request court-appointed representation. The notice is ordered to be published in a newspaper with circulation in the relevant town or city, ensuring that the unidentified parent has an opportunity to be informed of the proceedings. C.G.S. §§ 45a-716(c), 46b-129(a), 52-52; P.A. 21-15; P.B. §§ 11-6, 11-7, 33a-4. www.FormsWorkflow.com
