(Father), and retained jurisdiction. (§ 366.21.) Mother appealed that ruling (A108980). Dependency proceedings continued pending appeal and, in a subsequent action, the juvenile court terminated dependency jurisdiction and granted Father sole legal and physical custody of Wesley, with visitation for Mother.
