Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York December 1, 2009 (In re Irene C.)

Respondent’s contention that the petition was defective in that it did not specify the steps taken by the agency to strengthen the parent-child relationship (Family Ct Act § 614 [1] [c]), is unpreserved as respondent never moved to dismiss the petition on such grounds (see e.g. Matter of Gina Rachel L., 44 AD3d 367 [2007]).
