In re K.L. CA2/1
The order of the juvenile court denying Father’s section 388 petition is affirmed. The court’s order terminating parental rights is conditionally reversed. The cause is remanded to the juvenile court with instructions to conduct a hearing, at which the parties may present evidence and argument, for the purpose of the court’s consideration, under the appropriate criteria as clarified in Caden C. and this opinion, of whether Mother has met her burden to show that the parental-benefit exception applies. If, after such a hearing, the juvenile court finds that this exception applies, the court shall proceed in accordance with the law. If after such a hearing the court finds that the exception does not apply, the court shall reinstate its order terminating parental rights and proceed with appropriate permanency plan for the children.
