In re Z.Y. CA1/1
A.D. (mother) and H.Y. (father) appeal from a juvenile court order terminating their parental rights to their son, three-year-old Z.Y. Mother claims that the court considered improper factors in concluding she did not establish the parental-benefit exception to termination. This exception applies when there is “a compelling reason for determining that termination would be detrimental to the child” because a parent has “maintained regular visitation and contact with the child and the child would benefit from continuing the relationship.” (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(B)(i).) Father argues only that if we reverse the termination of mother’s parental rights for this reason, we must also reverse the termination of his parental rights. We conclude that the court did not err in finding the parental-benefit exception inapplicable to mother and therefore affirm.
