Jury rights for Dad? In a CA juvenile dependency court case?
Not yet, but there is a Dad fighting against his judge, with his lawyers, to get jury trial rights in his case in the Second District Appellate Court of California.
This fight is a mixture of a family law case and a juvenile dependency court case. The Mom is a family law lawyer, so the case had previously been in divorce court for many years. The Mom predictably called Child Protective Services (CPS) on the Dad so you can image how awful it has been for the two children in this case so far.
