Declaration and Order Dispensing with Notice to Alleged Natural Father

Orange County Superior Court · Locally Approved Forms

Verified current as of July 16, 2026

This form is used in adoption cases to allow the court to proceed without notifying a man who might be the biological father of the child being adopted. A person would need this form when they're adopting a child and either cannot locate the alleged father or have a valid legal reason to skip notifying him before the adoption is finalized.
