In re Devin P.
The juvenile court detained eight-year-old Devin P. and his two younger half-siblings (collectively the children) after the children’s mother, Kristi R. (mother), who had been undergoing drug treatment, relapsed and became homeless. Devin had been living with his maternal great-uncle Donnie M., who had cared for Devin since he was an infant but had never obtained legal guardianship. During dependency proceedings, the juvenile court denied Donnie’s motion to be declared Devin’s presumed father or, in the alternative, his legal guardian. Donnie appeals, contending the juvenile court erred in denying the motion. Finding no merit to his contentions, we affirm.
