Summons Served by Publication
To: John Doe (biological father of Sage Dahl)
I have started two court cases in Pierce County Superior Court by filing a Minor Guardianship Petition (Case No. 22-4-02293-3) and Emergency Minor Guardianship Petition (Case No. 22-4-02292-5).
You must respond in writing if you want the court to consider your side.
Deadline! Your Response must be filed and served within 60 days of the date this Summons is published: February 6, 2023. If you do not file and serve your Objection or a Notice of Appearance by the deadline:
* No one has to notify you about other hearings in this case, and
* The court may approve the requests in the Petitions without hearing your side (called a default judgment).
Follow these steps:
1. Read the Petitions and any other documents that were filed at court with this Summons. Those documents explain what the other party is asking for. 2. Fill out an Objection to Minor Guardianship on this form (check the Response that matches the Petition): GDN M301.DTF Objection to Minor Guardianship.
You can get the Response form and other forms you may need at:
* The Washington State Courts’ website: www.courts.wa.gov/forms
* Washington LawHelp: www.washingtonlawhelp.org, or
* The Superior Court Clerk’s office or county law library (for a fee).
3. Serve (give) a copy of your Response to the person who filed this Summons at the address below, and to any other parties. You may use certified mail with return receipt requested. For more information on how to serve, read Superior Court Civil Rule 5.
