Noncustodial parent has waived his rights and the form was notarized. Search of the Putative Father Registry completed. All other forms completed and notarized. Because there is a preexisting child support order, a Notice of Related Cases has to be completed. Who is the Respondent? Does Personal Service HAVE to be used? Does the noncustodial parent have to be served a copy even though he waived his rights?

very confused by your question. In most other states, you get a court date, judge questions both parents, makes sure step parent has had home study done and approved and Judge terminates non custodial parents rights and an appeal time is put in place and then an Adoption hearing is scheduled.
