In re J.T. CA4/1
Robert T., the presumed father of two-year-old J.T., appeals the juvenile court's disposition order removing J.T. from his custody under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361, subdivision (c)(1), following the court's finding that there would be substantial danger to the physical health, safety, protection, or physical or emotional well-being of J.T. if she was returned home. Robert claims the court lacked authority to remove J.T. from his custody because J.T. was residing with her mother, Hillary T., not with Robert, at the time the section 300 petition was filed. During the juvenile court proceedings, Robert did not object to the court's disposition order on the ground that section 361, subdivision (c)(1) was inapplicable to him, even though he had prior notice that the San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (Agency) would request J.T.'s removal from his custody under that statute.
