NOTICE TO NAMED FATHER STATE OF INDIANA SS: COUNTY OF KOSCIUSKO IN THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF LIAM ANTHONY KING DONALD ELWIN BROWN AMANDA LEANN BROWN, Petitioners IN THE KOSCIUSKO SUPERIOR COURT I CAUSE NO. 43D01-1608-AD-27 To Franklin Hibshman, who has been named the father of the child born to Amanda LeAnn King n/k/a Amanda LeAnn Brown on July 6, 2010, or who claims to be the father of the child born to Amanda LeAnn King n/k/a Amanda LeAnn Brown, is notified that a petition for adoption of the child was filed in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court 1 of Kosciusko County, 221 N. Lake Street, Warsaw, Indiana 46580. If Franklin Hibshman 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 Franklin Hibshman: 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 child under IC 31-14. Nothing Amanda LeAnn King n/k/a Amanda LeAnn Brown or anyone else says to Franklin Hibshman relieves Franklin Hibshman 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, Franklin Hibshman 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 a putative father's legal obligation under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. Dated this 23rd day of August, 2016. Ann Torpy, Clerk, Kosciusko County Courts 8-26, 9-2,9 hspaxlp
