In re E.P. CA1/2
Appellant J.P. (Father) and S.U. (Mother) are the parents of E.P. (Minor), who has serious medical conditions that require around-the-clock care. Minor has been declared a dependent of the court, and as part of the disposition, the juvenile court ordered Father not to contact Mother. This is Father’s third appeal in this matter. (See In re E.P. (A160714, May 25, 2021) [nonpub. opn.] (E.P. I) and In re E.P. (A162605, Feb. 22, 2022 [nonpub. opn.] (E.P. II).)
Minor requires a mechanical ventilator and constant monitoring by trained caregivers. At recent update hearings, Father has suggested that Mother could help facilitate his court-ordered in-person visits and caregiver training by acting as the monitoring caregiver during visits and by training him on various aspects of Minor’s care. The court, however, has not ordered Mother to provide Father caregiver training and has not required Mother to monitor Minor during Father’s in-person visits.
