CLARENCE ALDON BODINE, Respondent-Appellee, v. JOAN ELIZABETH BODINE et al., Petitioner-Appellant.
Appellate Court of Illinois - Third District.
Opinion filed September 6, 1984.
The parties' marriage was dissolved on August 18, 1976. Custody of their two minor children was awarded to petitioner subject to respondent's visitation rights.
Subsequent to the dissolution of marriage, petitioner married William Kline, and she and the children moved from the trailer. In February 1977, petitioner requested respondent consent to an adoption of the parties' children by herself and Kline. Subsequently, respondent agreed to the adoption, appeared ex parte before a judge, and executed the consent. However, no decree of adoption was ever entered.
On June 8, 1979, the parties' youngest child died. He was buried in the Kline family plot with the name "Joseph Kline" on the tombstone on his grave. The death certificate, however, lists the child's name as "Joseph Bodine." The marriage of petitioner and Kline was dissolved in January 1981.
