Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York July 5, 2012 (In re Khymani H.)

The appellant contends that the Family Court erred in permitting substituted service of the summons and petition in the absence of reasonable efforts to serve him by personal delivery *578(see Family Ct Act § 312.1). Even if the appellant is correct, he is not entitled to dismissal of the petition on the ground that the Family Court lacks personal jurisdiction over him.
