If you fail to do so, judgment may be rendered against you according to the request of the Petition, which has been filed with the Clerk of said court.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that there has been or will be filed, in this court, a Petition requesting that the parent-child relationship between the parent of the above-named child and the above-named child be terminated. The object of the action is to seek an Order terminating the parent-child relationship.
