Is a parent entitled to appeal from an order terminating parental rights?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Dep't of Children & Family Servs. v. Jose G. (In re M.G.), B297925 (Cal. App. 2020):
It is a well settled principle of appellate review that a court's order is presumed correct. (See Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564.) A parent appealing from an order terminating parental rights "has the duty to present error affirmatively by an adequate record; error is never presumed." (In re D.W. (2011) 193 Cal.App.4th 413, 417-418.)
