In re John O. CA2/1
Grant O. (Father) appeals from an order terminating his parental rights as the presumed father of John O. at a hearing pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. At that hearing, the court explicitly found by clear and convincing evidence that placing John in Father’s custody would be detrimental to John. Father contends that, because the court made its detriment finding at the hearing terminating parental rights, rather than earlier, the proceedings below did not comply with due process. Although Father forfeited this argument by failing to raise any due process issues below, we exercise our discretion to address it.
