In re F.W. CA5
J.W. (father) appeals from orders declaring his now two-year-old son, F.W., a dependent under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (b) and (e), and removing him from parental custody under section 361, subdivision (c)(1). Father contends these orders were an improper exercise of the juvenile court’s emergency jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA or Act), Family Code section 3400 et seq. He further contends the juvenile court erred in making jurisdictional findings as to him and by citing the incorrect statute when denying him, a previously noncustodial parent, custody of F. Finally, he asserts there is insufficient evidence that it would be detrimental to place F. with him. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
