Notice Of Adoption Proceeding And Summons To Respond {JDF 506}

JDF 506 - NOTICE OF ADOPTION AND SUMMONS. This form is used in the state of Colorado to formally notify a respondent (typically a biological parent or legal guardian) that a Petition for Adoption has been filed concerning a minor child. This form is used in various types of adoptions, including stepparent, kinship, or custodial adoptions. It provides the court and case details, names of the petitioners and respondents, the child’s name and date of birth, and the attorney’s contact information, if applicable. The notice informs the respondent of their legal obligation to respond to the petition within 35 days of being served. Failure to respond or appear within that timeframe may result in the termination of their parental or alleged parental rights. If the respondent is an alleged father, they are also advised to file a claim of paternity within 35 days if they haven’t done so already. The form also lists any accompanying legal documents being served, such as the petition for adoption, affidavit of abandonment, or a petition to terminate the parent-child legal relationship. www.FormsWorkflow.com
