SEX: FemaleAGE: 15 years
DOB: 02-18-2011
Child Under 18 Years of Age
Case No. 059-25J-090
NOTICE OF SUMMONS
To: Joseph Adams and any other person claiming paternity of the above-named child.
Georgia law provides that you can permanently lose your rights as a parent. The mother of the child is Brittany Wolpert.
You are hereby notified that the above-styled action, which seeks the termination of parental rights was filed against you in said Juvenile Court in Franklin County, Georgia on the 24th day of September, 2026. The petition alleges that the above-named child is a dependent child and that it would be in the child's best interest that the parents' parental rights be terminated. A copy of the petition is attached and may be obtained from the Clerk of Franklin County Juvenile Court. The child is currently in the temporary custody of the Franklin County Division of Family and Children Services.
THEREFORE, YOU ARE COMMANDED AND REQUIRED to appear before the Juvenile Court of Franklin County, Georgia on the 8th DAY OF DECEMBER, 2026 AT 9:30 O'CLOCK A.M. AT THE FRANKLIN COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 9592 LAVONIA ROAD, CARNESVILLE, GEORGIA 30521. 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 child, including rights of inheritance.
The biological father who is not the legal father is hereby notified that:
You may lose all rights to the child named in this petition and will not be entitled to object to the termination of your rights to such child unless, within 30 days of receipt of notice, you file:
(1) A petition to legitimate such child; and
(2) Notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the court in which the termination of parental rights proceeding is pending.
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 child. A copy of the petition to terminate parental rights is attached to this notice and may be obtained from the Clerk of Franklin County Juvenile Court. A court hearing of your case has been scheduled for the 8th day of December, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. at the Juvenile Court of Franklin County.
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 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 childs earnings or property. Your child 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 childs care unless and until your child is adopted; 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 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 can not 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 have any questions concerning this notice, you may call the telephone number of the clerks office which is: (706) 384-2514.
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.
The officer of this Court responsible for determining whether or not you are indigent is located at The Office of the Public Defender of the Northern Judicial Circuit, 461 Cook Street, Suite J, Royston, Georgia 30662, and the telephone number is (706) 246-9320.
WITNESS the Honorable Warren C. Caswell, Judge of said Court.
This 24th day of September, 2026.
