In re VIVIENNE L., a Person B307959 Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 19CCJP07616A) LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. NATALIA L., Defendant and Appellant. VIVIENNE L., a minor, etc., Respondent.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Nichelle L. Blackwell, Judge Pro Tempore. Reversed in part. Marissa Coffey, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Shaylah Padgett-Weibel, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Minor Vivienne L. _______________________

Natalia L. (Mother) appeals from the September 23, 2020 juvenile court exit order entered at the termination of dependency jurisdiction over her daughter, dependent child Vivienne L., on the ground the juvenile court included in the order impermissible conditions on its future modification. We reverse the order to the extent that it attempts to restrict the family court from modifying the exit order until certain conditions are met.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In 2020, Vivienne L. was adjudicated a dependent child of the juvenile court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (c) because the protracted and extreme conflict between her parents placed her at risk of serious emotional harm, damage, and danger. At disposition, the juvenile court terminated jurisdiction over Vivienne L. and entered an order giving her father sole legal and physical custody with visitation to Mother. Additionally, the juvenile court ordered: “Before this Juvenile Custody Order can be modified the mother . . . must complete individual counseling with a licensed therapist at least 1 time per week for no less than a period of 1 year from the date of this order to address her repeated efforts to coach the child into making unfounded allegations against the father, . . . to address mother’s ongoing making of unfounded allegations against father[,] to address mother’s past trauma with domestic violence, and to address the trauma mother is causing the child by attempting to alienate the child from her father, and she must show proof of completion satisfactory to the court before the juvenile custody order can be modified.” Mother appeals.
