Description
Annette and Paul B., Megan B.'s parents, filed separate notices of appeal after the permanency planning hearing in a dependency proceeding under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300.*fn1 Annette contends the record fails to establish she knowingly and intelligently waived her rights when entering a plea of nolo contendere at the jurisdictional hearing, the evidence does not support the trial court's finding there was a substantial risk of detriment to Megan's emotional well-being if returned to her, the authorization to commence an action to terminate parental rights was void because the trial court improperly shifted the burden of proof to the parents and the evidence failed to support a finding Megan would not benefit from a continuing relationship with her, and the trial court abused its discretion by reducing her visitation with Megan. Paul argues the trial court lacked jurisdiction to order Megan freed for adoption because he was not notified the court would consider that alternative at the permanency planning hearing.
