In re Z.W. CA2/4
Travis W. (father) is the biological father of Z.W., born in December 2009. Z.W. lived with his mother (mother) in Los Angeles County, and father lived in Arizona. Z.W. and his half-brother, J.D., were detained by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) after a violent altercation involving mother and J.D.’s father. As part of the case plan, the juvenile court ordered father to complete drug tests, parenting classes, and individual counseling.
Father asserts that the court lacked authority to order him to complete services because he was a non-offending parent. We agree with father that the court’s order with respect to drug testing was an abuse of the court’s discretion, and therefore reverse that portion of the order. We otherwise affirm.
