In re V.B.
D.C. (the mother) and M.B. (the father) separately appeal from a January 14, 2008 juvenile court order terminating their parental rights as to their four children pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. (All further statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code unless otherwise noted.) The father also appeals from the order setting the section 366.26 hearing. And the mother appeals from the denial of her section 388 modification petition. The mother contends: it was error to deny her section 388 petition without a hearing; there was no substantial evidence the children were likely to be adopted; and there was no substantial evidence to support a finding the beneficial relationship exception did not apply. The father argues: he was not properly advised of his writ review rights with respect to the order setting the section 366.26 hearing, therefore he may challenge the setting order on appeal; and there was no substantial evidence the Department of Children and Family Services (the department) provided him with reasonable reunification services. Court affirm the order.
