## Rule excerpts
Case-specific adequacy of inquiry after unsuccessful efforts to obtain reliable family contact information; parents were unable or unwilling to provide it. Filed May 18, 2022; publication ordered June 16, 2022.
> Because no members of the parents’ extended families ever appeared at a hearing (compare with Antonio R., supra, 76 Cal.App.5th at p. 428), DCFS could have obtained names and contact information for paternal relatives only through mother or father––and the parents were either unable or unwilling to provide that information. Without reliable contact information, DCFS could not reasonably have been expected to interview extended family members.
