NOTICE TO UNNAMED FATHER STATE OF INDIANA COUNTY OF KOSCIUSKO IN RE THE ADOPTION OF MASON J. QUIRK IN THE KOSCIUSKO SUPERIOR COURT NO. 1 CAUSE NO. 43D01-1610-AD-33 The unnamed putative father of the child born to Jonahlyn P. Quirk, on February 22, 2009, or the person who claims to be the father of the child born to Jonahlyn P. Quirk, on February 22, 2009, 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 North Lake Street, Warsaw, IN 46580. If the unnamed putative father seeks to contest the adoption of the child, the unnamed putative father must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court within thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice. This notice may be served by publication. If the unnamed putative father does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice, the above named court shall hear and determine the petition for adoption. The unnamed putative father's consent is irrevocably implied and the unnamed putative father loses the right to contest the adoption or the validity of the unnamed putative father's implied consent to the adoption. The unnamed putative father loses the right to establish paternity of the child under IC 31-14. Nothing Jonahlyn P. Quirk, or anyone else says to the unnamed putative father of the child relieves the unnamed putative father 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. This notice complies with IC 31-19-4-4 but does not exhaustively set forth the unnamed putative father's legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statues. A person/being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. Ann Torpy, Clerk Kosciusko Superior Court # 1 10-14,21,28 hspaxlp
