SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

In re AMY V. et al., Persons B346332 Coming Under the Juvenile (Los Angeles County Court Law. Super. Ct. No. 24CCJP04038)

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

J.G.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from the dispositional order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Syna N. Dennis, Judge. Affirmed in part and reversed in part.

Akila A. Shenoy, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Dawyn R. Harrison, County Counsel, Kim Nemoy, Assistant County Counsel, and Jessica S. Mitchell, Principal Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent. ____________________

In this appeal in a dependency case, mother (J.G.), who was nonoffending, challenges only that part of the juvenile court’s dispositional order requiring her to attend a support group for domestic violence. We agree with mother that this requirement constitutes an abuse of discretion. Although father perpetrated domestic violence, mother and father ended their relationship a decade before the dependency proceedings commenced.1 At the time of the dependency proceedings before us, mother was not in an abusive relationship. Additionally, the children were safe in mother’s custody and remained there throughout the dependency proceedings. Father’s abusive conduct against his partner, Y.L., also does not support an order requiring mother to attend a domestic violence support group. Accordingly, we reverse that requirement in the juvenile court’s disposition order and affirm the court’s dispositional order in all other respects.
