In re R.J.
Father, R.J., appeals the juvenile courts jurisdictional findings and dispositional orders regarding his child, R.J., Jr. Father contends (1) the jurisdictional findings must be reversed and vacated because the sustained allegations of the amended petition fail to state a cause of action for dependency jurisdiction; (2) no substantial evidence supports the courts jurisdictional findings; (3) even if the juvenile court properly asserted jurisdiction, the orders removing the minor from father must be reversed with directions to the juvenile court to implement family maintenance services and modify an existing restraining order; (4) at the very least, the orders allowing only monitored visitation for father must be reversed for abuse of the courts discretion and, in any case, there was no substantial evidence fathers visits posed a threat to the minors safety; and (5) it was error to require father to participate in individual counseling addressing anger management. Court affirm.
