NOTICE TO NAMED FATHER STATE OF INDIANA SS KOSCIUSKO COUNTY 2009 TERM - CAUSE NO. 43D01-0907-AD-17 IN RE THE ADOPTION OF SHAY LYNN PENNINGTON IN THE KOSCIUSKO SUPERIOR COURT #1 Greg Ray Pennington, who has been named the father of the child born to Traci L. Helton a/k/a Traci L. Huffer on January 14, 2005, is notified that a petition for adoption of the child was filed in the office of the clerk of the Kosciusko Superior Court #1, 121 N. Lake Street, Warsaw, Indiana. If Greg Ray Pennington seeks to contest the adoption of the child, he must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court, or a paternity action under IC 31-14 not later than thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice. If Greg Ray Pennington: (1) does not file: (A) a motion to contest the adoption; or (B) a paternity action under IC 31-14; within thirty (30) days after service of this notice; or (2) after filing a paternity action under IC 31-14 fails to establish paternity; the above named court will hear and determine the petition for adoption. His consent will be irrevocably implied and he will lose his right to contest either the adoption or the validity of his implied consent to the adoption. He will lose his right to establish his paternity of the children under IC 31-14. Nothing Traci L. Helton or Traci L. Huffer or anyone else says to Greg Ray Pennington relieves Greg Ray Pennington of his obligations under this notice. Under Indiana law, a putative father is a person who is named as or claims that he may be the father of a child born out of wedlock, but who has not yet been legally proven to be the child's father. For purposes of this notice, Greg Ray Pennington is a putative father under the laws in Indiana regarding adoption. This notice complies with IC 31-19-4-5 but does not exhaustively set forth putative father's legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. Jason McSherry, Clerk Kosciusko Superior Court #1 a5,12,19
