In re M.J.
The juvenile court terminated the parental rights of A.J. (Father) to his son, M.J. (Minor). (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26, subd. (b)(1).)[1]Father contends the juvenile court erred by summarily denying his petition to change a court order (§ 388), in which Father requested his adult son’shome be designated as a concurrent planning home for Minor. Within this appellate contention, Father asserts (1) the San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (the Department) social worker failed to investigate placing Minor with relatives (§ 309, subd. (a));and (2) the trial court erred by instructing Father to delay requesting relative placement for Minor.(§ 361.3.)
The Department asserts: (1) Father lacks standing to challenge the denial of the petition because Father is not aggrieved by the denial;(2) Father forfeited the Department’s alleged failure to investigate placing Minor with relatives by not filing a timely appeal or writ petition;and (3) the trial court
