Failure to appear as directed may cause you to be held in contempt of court and punished accordingly. A copy of the petition may be obtained in the Office of the Clerk of the Juvenile Court of Floyd County, Georgia at the Floyd County Courthouse, #3 Government Plaza, Suite 202, Rome, GA 30161 during business hours or from counsel for the petitioner, to-wit: William O'Dell, Esq., Brent O'Dell, Esq., Kelli Freeman, Esq., Special Assistant Attorneys General, P.O. Box 65, Rome, GA 30162-0065.   You are required to be present at the formal hearing. You are entitled to counsel and the Court will appoint counsel for you if you are unable, without undue financial hardship to employ your own counsel. If you ask for a lawyer to be appointed to represent you, the Court will inquire into your financial circumstances to determine if you qualify for a Court appointed attorney. If you desire to apply for counsel, you must do so immediately. Any answer or response to the Petition must be filed within the time prescribed by the Georgia law and a copy of said answer or response served upon counsel for the Petitioner identified above.   "NOTICE OF EFFECT OF TERMINATION JUDGMENT”   Georgia law provides that you can permanently lose your rights as a parent. A petition to terminate parental rights has been filed requesting the court to terminate your parental rights to your child. A copy of the petition to terminate parental rights is attached to this notice. A court hearing of your case has been scheduled for the 5th day of May, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., at the Juvenile Court of Floyd County. 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 judgment 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. 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 706-291-5180.
