In a Family Law Application to the Court of Appeal, how have the courts dealt with the issue of sufficiency of evidence in support of a jurisdictional finding?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Kern Cnty. Dep't of Human Servs. v. N.D. (In re E.D.), F064623 (Cal. App. 2013):

The agency argues that we should not address father's argument about the sufficiency of the evidence in support of the jurisdictional findings because father did not make an objection based on sufficiency of evidence in the trial court. It is unnecessary to address this contention since we conclude that the evidence was in fact sufficient. We remind the agency, however, of the well-established principle that the sufficiency of the evidence to support a judgment or order is not among the issues that need to be raised in the trial court in order to be preserved for appeal. (People v. Butler (2003) 31 Cal.4th
