FIRST INSERTION
NOTICE OF ADOPTION
IN THE HAMILTON
SUPERIOR COURT
ROOM NO. 5
CAUSE NO. 29D05-2101-AD-28
STATE OF INDIANA
COUNTY OF HAMILTON
IN THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF
INFANT MALE MARTIN
The unnamed putative father of the child born to Makayla Martin, on January 6, 2021, or the person who claims to be the father of the child born to Makayla Martin, on January 6, 2021, is notified that a petition for adoption of the child was filed in the office of the Clerk of the Hamilton Superior Court, Room No. 5, One Hamilton County Square, Noblesville, Indiana.
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, by affidavit or otherwise, in Indiana or any other jurisdiction.
Nothing Makayla Martin 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 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 statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana statutes.
