In re Daniel B.
Annotate this CaseMother appealed from the juvenile court's dispositional order declaring two of her children dependents of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a), (b), and (j), removing them from the custody of their father, and releasing them to Mother with family maintenance services. The court concluded that Mother's objection to the order requiring her to participate in a domestic violence support group was sufficient to preserve the issues raised on appeal; the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by leaving the term of Mother's enrollment in a domestic violence support group open ended; but, the juvenile court erred by granting the program's counselors unfettered discretion to decide, based on their own criteria, when Mother has satisfied her court-ordered case plan. Accordingly, the court reversed a portion of the order and remanded to the juvenile court for further proceedings.
