In re J.L. CA4/2
V.Y. (father) is the father of K. (born in 2011), J. (born in 2012), and S. (born in 2015). The children came to the attention of the San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (CFS) when it received a referral alleging that father was using and/or selling drugs. The juvenile court found that it had dependency jurisdiction based on the father’s history of drug use and domestic violence, along with the poor condition of his home and the fact that the children were missing school and not receiving development services. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300, subd. (b). ) The court granted custody to K.L. (mother). Father appeals, contending: (1) the court failed to comply with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) by failing to recognize either Indiana or Pennsylvania as the only states with jurisdiction to alter the original custody order; and (2) there was insufficient evidence that the children were at risk for substantial physical harm. We affirm.
