California Court of Appeal
In re Marriage of Jill & Victor D., C062388
Juvenile court's judgment terminating a father's parental rights so the minors could be adopted by their stepfather is affirmed where: 1) the court properly held that the circumstances by which the minors' mother initially assumed sole physical custody of them was irrelevant to the determination whether the father left the minors within the meaning of the statutory scheme; and 2) the father's claim that there was insufficient evidence to support the juvenile court's finding that he left the minors for one year with the intent to abandon them during that time is rejected.
