BLAKE OLIVIA OLESON,
A person under the age of eighteen.
TO: JASON CHRISTOPHER ALLEN (a.k.a. JASON CHRISTOPHER OLESON), Father
A Petition and Declaration for Order Terminating Parent-Child Relationship was filed by Petitioner, David Charles Rider on July 21, 2020. You must respond in writing for the court to consider your side. Deadline! Your Response must be served on the Petitioner within 20 days of the date you were served this Summons (60 days if you were served outside of Washington State). If the case has been filed, you must also file your Response by the same deadline. If you do not serve and file your Response 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 Petitioner’s requests without hearing your side (called a default judgment).
* A fact-finding hearing will be held to determine if your parental rights to your child are terminated. If you do not file a Response nor appear at the hearing, the court may enter an order in your absence terminating your parental rights.
Follow these steps:
1. Read the Petition and any other documents you receive with this Summons. These documents explain what the Petitioner is asking for.
