In re Enrique V.
Enrique M. (father) appeals from an order terminating his parental rights to his eight-year-old son Enrique Joseph V.-M. (Joseph) and four-year-old daughter D.V. (collectively the children), under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26.[1] Father contends his due process rights were violated because the order was issued in the absence of a voluntary, knowing, and intelligent waiver of his right to a contested section 366.26 hearing. Specifically, father complains the juvenile court did not advise him of the consequences of submitting on the recommendations of the Tulare County Health and Human Services Agency (Agency) without a contested hearing. We find no merit to father’s contention and affirm the order.
