NOTICE TO PUTATIVE FATHER STATE OF INDIANA SS COUNTY OF KOSCIUSKO IN THE MATTER OF THE STEPPARENT ADOPTION OF MACKENZIE SUE TAYLOR, Minor Child NICOLE E. WHITAKER and JASON T. WHITAKER, Petitioner IN THE KOSCIUSKO SUPERIOR COURT 1 CASE NO. 43D01-0902-AD-3 Joey Hurley, who has been named putative father of the child born to Nicole Erika Taylor on October 4,2005, or any putative father who claims to be the father of the child born to Nicole Erika Taylor on October 4,2005, is notified that a petition for adoption of the child was filed in the office of the clerk of Kosciusko Superior Court 1, 121 North Lake Street, Warsaw, Indiana 46580. If Joey Hurley 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 Joey Hurley: (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 Nicole Erika Taylor or anyone else says to Joey Hurley relieves Joey Hurley 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 been legally proven to be the child's father. For purpose of this notice, Joey Hurley 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 obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. Dated: February 23, 2009 TAYLOR LAW OFFICE, P.C. Patti J.
