In re M.C. CA1/5
The Alameda County Social Services Agency (Agency) appeals from a juvenile court order directing the Agency to arrange and pay for a bonding study of the minor M.C. (minor) and his father, A.C. (Father). The Agency contends the court abused its discretion in ordering the study, and further argues that requiring the Agency to pay for the study was an unlawful gift of public funds, a violation of the separation of powers doctrine, and in excess of the court’s jurisdiction. We will reverse the order to the extent it required the Agency to pay for the bonding study, and affirm the order in all other respects.
