In re D.P.
Annotate this Case
After seven-year-old D.P. was removed from his mother's physical custody and returned home to father's custody, mother appealed the removal order under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361, subdivision (e).
The Court of Appeal held that the juvenile court failed to state the facts supporting removal, and that there was a reasonable probability that the juvenile court would have adopted the alternative to removal specified in section 361, subdivision (c)(1)(A) had it considered the option. In regard to mother's challenge regarding the parts of the disposition order restricting her to monitored visitation and requiring her to participate in a full drug and alcohol treatment program, the court held that the juvenile court reasonably exercised its discretion to impose visitation restrictions and services. Accordingly, the court reversed the removal portion of the disposition order and affirmed in all other respects.
