Notice Of Hearing On Petition For Adoption (Shelby) {18.2}

18.2 - NOTICE OF HEARING ON PETITION FOR ADOPTION. This form is used by a Probate Court in Ohio to formally notify individuals—typically biological parents or other interested parties—of a scheduled court hearing regarding the adoption of a minor child. The form provides essential details including the name of the petitioner seeking to adopt the child, the minor's current and proposed name, date of birth, and the hearing's date, time, and location. It also states whether consent from a parent or other individual is not required under specific legal grounds outlined in the Ohio Revised Code, such as failure to maintain contact or support. It warns that a final adoption decree, if granted, will permanently terminate parental rights and relationships with the minor. The notice explains how to object to the adoption, including the requirement to file objections within 14 days of receiving the notice and to appear at the hearing. It further provides information about obtaining court-appointed legal counsel for those who cannot afford an attorney. The form includes certification and return sections for court clerks and sheriffs to document proper service of the notice. www.FormsWorkflow.com
