S.Y.,

Defendant and Respondent;

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Stacy Wiese, Judge. Affirmed. Megan Turkat Schirn, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Objector and Appellant.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. Janette Freeman Cochran, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Respondent. Jamie A. Moran, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Respondent Minor R.S. ____________________ A father challenges a dispositional order that continued court supervision and that provided services to him, his ex-wife, and his special needs daughter. He mistakenly relies on law relating to postdisposition review hearings to argue the juvenile court should have terminated jurisdiction at the disposition stage. We affirm the challenged order. Code citations are to the Welfare and Institutions Code. In February 2024, the child reported a disagreement with her mother had escalated into physical abuse by the mother. The child was nine. The mother denied any abuse. The juvenile court detained the child from the mother and released her to the father. The parents had been divorced for several years, and the mother had been the child’s primary caregiver. The father kept the child in therapy and participated in sessions with her. He requested the child’s passport so he could take her to his home country of Morocco. The mother feared the father intended to stay there. The court provisionally denied the request; then the father withdrew it. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services investigated the family and learned the child had significant behavioral and emotional issues. For example, the child was violent and dishonest with peers and school staff. The child had diagnoses of attention-deficit/hyperactivity
