In re A.B.
Annotate this CaseTwo minors were removed from the home of their mother and placed in the homes of their respective biological fathers in early 2013 pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.2. After a contested disposition hearing, the dependency court upheld the removals, ordered the fathers to assume custody of the minors, declined mother’s request for reunification services, and ordered Marin County Health and Human Services to conduct home visits and report back within three months pursuant to section 361.2, subdivision (b)(2). The court of appeal previously upheld those rulings. Mother then appealed from the dependency court’s subsequent orders which again denied her reunification services and terminated its jurisdiction as to one child, arguing that she had a due process right to a further evidentiary hearing on the home visit reports that could not be conditioned on the sufficiency of her offer of proof. The court of appeal affirmed, noting that mother failed to demonstrate that an evidentiary hearing would have alleviated the court’s concerns.
