In re A.M., a Minor 

Court found minor's father in default and terminated his parental rights while he was incarcerated in Colorado. Father did not object to court's jurisdiction at the four hearings he attended prior to adjudication, dispositional, termination, and best interest hearings, and thus waived the requirement that he be provided notice of proceedings. Father was served with termination petition and summons, and thus had actual notice of proceedings and had a duty to follow progress of case, but failed to respond or to contact his attorney, thus voluntarily chose not to participate in proceedings. Risk that father was erroneously deprived of his parental rights was minimal when balanced against State's interest in preventing delay in adjudicating parental rights and preserving best interest of minor. (McDADE and LYTTON, concurring.)
