In re J.A.
The juvenile court terminated the parental rights of J.E. (Mother) and defendant and appellant B.W. (Father) to their son, J.A. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26, subd. (b)(1).)[1] Father raises six issues on appeal. First, Father asserts the juvenile court violated his statutory and due process rights by not honoring his request to be transported to the termination hearing. Second, Father contends the juvenile court erred by not informing Father he could request the court find him to be a presumed father. Third, Father asserts the juvenile court, and plaintiff and respondent San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (the Department), failed to timely inform him that a test revealed he was J.A.’s biological father. Fourth, Father contends the juvenile court violated Father’s opportunity to be heard when it did not respond to Father’s written request for an attorney. Fifth, Father asserts the foregoing alleged errors had the cumulative effect of denying him due process. Sixth, Father asserts the juvenile court erred by not performing a proper inquiry pursuant to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). We affirm the judgment.
