Publication Of Hearing (Notice To Putative Father) {JC 79}

JC 79 - PUBLICATION OF HEARING (NOTICE TO PUTATIVE FATHER). This form, used in the state of Michigan and is intended for cases in the judicial circuit's family division. It serves as a notice to putative fathers, notifying them about a petition filed with the court regarding a minor child who was born and providing them with information about an upcoming hearing. The form specifies that if the individual receiving the notice may be the natural father of the minor child, they are expected to appear at the specified hearing date and time to state any interest they might have in the minor child. Not appearing at the hearing could result in a denial of interest in the minor child, waiver of notice for subsequent hearings, and a waiver of the right to appointment of an attorney. Furthermore, it emphasizes that failure to appear at the hearing could lead to the permanent termination of parental rights. The form may be published to make the information public, and it provides space for specifying the number of times it should be published and the number of copies to be furnished. It also includes a section to forward the statement for publication charges and the publisher's affidavit to the appropriate recipient. Approved, SCAO. MCR 3.921(D). www.FormsWorkflow.com
