GREETINGS:
Georgia law provides that you can permanently lose your rights as a parent. Pursuant to an order of this Court dated March 27, 2026, you are hereby notified that on March 25th, 2026, a PETITION FOR TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS was filed in this Court by Jennifer Feathers, Court appointed Guardian Ad Litem and child attorney, joined on March 26, 2026 by the Georgia Department of Human Services through the Chatham County Department of
Family and Children Services, requesting the Court to terminate your parental rights to your child.
A free copy of the petition may be obtained from the Clerk of Juvenile Court of Chatham County, 197 Carl Griffin Drive, Savannah, Georgia 31405, on any day, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m..
A Court hearing for your case has been scheduled for the 11 day of June, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the Juvenile Court of Chatham County, 197 Carl Griffin Drive, Savannah, Georgia,
31405. You are commanded to be, appear at said hearing. If you fail to appear, the Court can terminate your rights in your absence.
If the Court at the trial finds that the facts set out in the petition to terminate parental rights are true and that termination of your rights will serve the best interests of your child, the Court can enter a judgment ending your rights to your child.
If the judgement terminates your parental rights, you will no longer have any rights to your child. This means that you will not have the right to visit, contact or have custody of your
child or make any decisions affecting your child or your child’s earnings or property. Your child will be legally freed to be adopted by someone else without you receiving notice or a right to participate in the adoption proceedings.
Even if your parental rights are terminated:
1. You will still be responsible for providing financial support (child support payments) for your child’s care unless and until your child is adopted; and
2. Your child can still inherit from you unless and until your child is adopted.
This is a very serious matter. You should contact an attorney immediately so that you can be prepared for the court hearing. You have the right to hire an attorney and to have him or her represent you. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, the Court will appoint an attorney if the Court finds that you are an indigent person. Whether or not you decide to hire an attorney, you have the right to attend the hearing of your case, to call witnesses on your behalf, and to question those witnesses brought against you.
If you have any questions concerning this notice, you may call the telephone number of the clerk’s office which is: (912) 652-6716.
WITNESS The Honorable Judge of the Juvenile Court of Chatham County, Georgia, on this 30 day of March, 2026.
/s/ Anna Grover, Clerk
Juvenile Court Clerk
Chatham County, Georgia
