Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The appealed order terminating the father’s parental rights must be reversed because the court did not obtain personal jurisdiction over the father in accordance with the requirements of law, and the error [72]*72was adequately preserved by timely objection to such jurisdiction. The summons issued and served did not include the language required by rule 8.505, Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure, to adequately advise the parent of the consequences of not responding and appearing at the stipulated date and time.¹ Furthermore, the return of service indicated that a copy of the summons was served on the parent, but did not indicate that a copy of the petition was served with the summons.

REVERSED.

ZEHMER, BARFIELD and WEBSTER, JJ., concur.
