Terminate Parental Rights

[jollyranchers]

This is part 2 to my question about wanting the bio-fathers parental right terminated. In your answer you stated that if I file a petition, the bio-father would be served and given a time (typically 30 days) to contest, well, what if I don't have an address or any way of contacting him? Being "served", does that mean physically by a server or by mail? What about the petition being posted in a newspaper for the 30 days like some other legal notices?

It can be done through the newspaper, but it is always better to serve the person or their legal counsel.
