Christine J. v. Superior Court CA6
Christine J. (mother) and Ryan W., Sr. (father) seek extraordinary writ relief from the juvenile court’s order setting a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 hearing after it granted a section 388 petition filed by real party Department of Family and Children’s Services (the Department) and terminated their reunification services as to their six-year-old son, Ryan W., Jr. (Ryan). We conclude that the juvenile court must reconsider its decision because it prejudicially abused its discretion by applying the wrong standard of proof and by terminating father’s services under the disentitlement doctrine. We therefore grant relief.
