Monica S. v. Superior Court CA1/4
In this consolidated writ proceeding, Monica S. (mother) and Matthew M. (father) seek extraordinary relief from the juvenile court order bypassing both parents for reunification services and setting a permanency planning hearing for the couple’s young sons, Eric M. (born January 2014) and Eli M. (born March 2012). Specifically, the parents argue that the juvenile court erred by denying them reunification services pursuant to subdivision (b)(13) of section 361.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code (subdivision (b)(13)) based on their extensive histories of substance abuse. Finding denial of reunification services to be warranted under the circumstances of this case, we deny the petitions.
