L.A. County DCFS v. E.C.
Annotate this CaseFather appealed the juvenile court's jurisdiction and disposition orders over H.R. The court concluded that substantial evidence supported the juvenile court's determination that father was H.R.'s alleged but not biological father. In light of the conflicting statements before the juvenile court, the court could not that say the juvenile court erred in awaiting the results of genetic testing to prove biological paternity, or that it erred in finding him only an alleged father. Further, under the facts of this case, the court could not say that the juvenile court erred in holding him responsible for H.R. and sustaining the allegations of failure to provide support. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
