consider how visitation should look, given it’s between California and Florida at this point.” On November 3, 2015, the Department filed an updated case plan as to Father. For the objective involving age appropriate behavior for Minors, the case plan stated: “Sign up and attend the Duval County Family Preservation Program FAST Program through Family Support Services of North Florida, Inc.,” and “[a]ttend all aspects of the program: in-home counseling - anger mgmt - substance abuse treatment. - domestic violence education” with “90% attendance.” No contact information for the program was provided. The case plan also added a third objective to maintain relationships with Minors, which provided for Father to have weekly telephone visits, permitted him to write Minors letters via the social worker, and allowed social media or video contact at the Department’s discretion. At the November 4, 2015 continued hearing, Father’s counsel voiced several objections: the identified program “is very vague” and does not indicate its length; Father had not been assessed as to his need for anger management and domestic violence services; and the plan lacked drug testing and housing services. The Department responded that the Florida agency did not respond to the Department’s requests for “having a referral, what’s involved with their program,” and noted Father was on parole “so he’s probably drug testing through them so we can probably get something through them.” The Department also stated Father was not returning the social worker’s calls. At the conclusion of the hearing, the juvenile court directed Father’s case plan “be rerun with specifics as to what the in-home counseling, how long that’s going to take place. Is that a parenting component? . . . [¶] . . . What the anger management is or if it’s simply like a parenting, discipline with confidence, that kind of thing certainly would be appropriate. Substance abuse treatment, what it consists of, and include testing protocols. Domestic violence education, simply be assessed to determine if there is a need and comply with the recommendation. [¶] Add a housing component, provide appropriate housing and, to the extent that it’s not specifically addressed, parenting classes. I believe [Father] has not been actively parenting his children for a period of time, and I believe
We have already found the Department failed to demonstrate reasonable services were provided to Father during the relevant period. Because the reasonable services and active efforts standards “ ‘are essentially undifferentiable’ ” (C.F., supra, 230 Cal.App.4th at p. 238), we conclude no substantial evidence supports the juvenile court’s finding that active efforts were made on behalf of Father. The Department contends active efforts were not required because Father “was not part of the Indian family” having been out of contact with Minors for two years before the dependency petition was filed; we have rejected this argument already. The Department’s citation to cases finding no active efforts required are inapposite, involving parents for whom active efforts would be clearly futile. (Letitia V. v. Superior Court (2000) 81 Cal.App.4th 1009, 1016 [active efforts not required “where substantial but unsuccessful efforts have just been made . . . in a juvenile dependency case involving one child, and the parent has shown no desire to change” in a dependency case involving a second child]; In re K.B. (2009) 173 Cal.App.4th 1275, 1284 [active efforts not required where father’s “history clearly demonstrates the futility of offering reunification services: He is a registered sex offender with a prior conviction for lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14 . . . [and] the court sustained the allegations that he sexually molested [the minors’ DISPOSITION The portions of the juvenile court’s disposition order finding reasonable services were provided to Father and active efforts were made to prevent the breakup of the Indian family are reversed, and the matter is remanded to the juvenile court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
