Order For Publication {AD-2.3}

FORM AD.2.3 – ORDER FOR PUBLICATION. This form from the Summit County Probate Court is used in adoption cases when a party, typically a biological parent or legal guardian, cannot be located despite reasonable efforts. When someone files a Motion for Service by Publication, they are asking the court for permission to notify the missing party about the adoption proceedings through a public legal notice, rather than personal service. If the court grants the motion, this form serves as an official order authorizing publication of the notice for three consecutive weeks in the Akron Legal News, a newspaper of general circulation in Summit County. This process helps ensure that due process is followed by making a good faith attempt to inform all interested parties of the pending adoption, even if they cannot be directly contacted. If the motion is denied or requires further consideration, the form may also be used to schedule a hearing on the matter. www.FormsWorkflow.com
