In re H.M. CA4/3
Appellant A.S. (Mother) is the mother of H.M., who was born in 2006 and taken into protective custody in March 2017 when he tested positive for benzodiazepine. A.M. (Father) is the father of H.M. The marriage of Mother and Father ended in dissolution, and their relationship has been contentious and hostile. H.M. suffers from cystic fibrosis. Mother and Father have disagreed on nearly every aspect of his care and have battled endlessly over custody.
Mother appeals from the juvenile court’s dispositional order. She does not contest dependency jurisdiction. Father has not filed a brief on appeal. Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) has filed a respondent’s brief in support of the dispositional order.
Mother challenges several of the juvenile court’s dispositional rulings and findings. Most significantly, Mother contends the court erred by ordering that custody of H.M. be vested with Father rather than ordering continued placement with Mother’s parents.
