In re Alexander D. CA1/1
In a prior appeal arising from this matter, we affirmed the presumed parent status of Joel D. (Joel) and Donald Q. (Donald), but vacated the juvenile court’s order granting Michael P. (Michael) presumed parent status. (In re Alexander P. (2016) 4 Cal.App.5th 475 (Alexander P.).) Michael now appeals from the juvenile court’s order denying his subsequent motion for presumed father status. Michael argues the juvenile court erred by subjecting his presumption of parentage to Family Code section 7612, subdivision (c)’s detriment analysis. Michael further asserts the court was required to identify him as a presumed parent due to his execution of a voluntary declaration of paternity. The court’s failure to do so, he contends, resulted in depriving him of his parental rights without a finding of unfitness. We disagree and affirm the order.
