Elijah R. v. Superior Court

In Elijah R. v. Superior Court (1998) 66 Cal.App.4th 965, visitation and phone calls were denied because the child was young and the father was incarcerated in Nevada. The record "painted a picture of a father who, as the result of his criminal activities which had been ongoing for 20 years, fathered a child and then promptly reoffended, with the result that he was confined for the greater part of the reunification period in a distant, out-of-state prison." ( Id., at p. 971.)
