In re B.H. CA4/3
M.H. (Father) appeals from the juvenile court’s order issued at the six month review hearing which terminated his reunification services for his daughter B.H. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.21, subd. (e).) At the hearing, the court found Father continued to be unwilling to participate in services and concluded services would be “a poor use of resources.” The court also found that the rule generally limiting reunification services to six months from the date of the disposition hearing applied because, in the words of the statute, B.H., “on the date of [her] initial removal from the physical custody of the child’s parent or guardian, was under three years of age.” (§ 361.5, subd. (a)(1)(B), hereafter sometimes § 361.5(a)(1)(B).) Father had therefore reached the limit of his services under the statute. (Ibid.)
Father contends he was entitled to a minimum of a year of reunification services, not just six months.
