Q: In article ch.c art. 1245, if the petitioner doesnt eed the biological parents consent for intrafamiky adoption, why
Why would the bio. Parent have to appear in court for rule to show cause?
A: Just because someone alleges facts that the bio parent's consent is not required does not necessarily mean that the person making the allegation is correct. Therefore, any party whose rights are being affected have to be put on notice of the adoption so that they can assert any rights that they may have. In the long run, it's the best thing, in that it keeps them from springing up out the woodwork years after the adoption, only to find that they may have had rights that weren't dealt with.
