Georgia Court of Appeals

In Re: Lionel John Williams et al.. V.

A17A0019 May 9, 2017 Reversed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether a trial court erred in ordering notice to an unknown biological father after terminating parental rights. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the decision, holding that because no evidence established paternity or support, the alleged biological father was not entitled to notice of the adoption proceedings.
