INTRODUCTION

Father appeals from the juvenile court’s child custody and visitation order following termination of jurisdiction over his 12- year-old son. Father's appealis narrow—he requests only that the portion of the final custody order that states he did not complete a parenting class be stricken. He points out that the juvenile court record reflects that he had in fact completed the class prior to the court’s order terminating jurisdiction. Father does not challenge any other component of the child custody and visitation order. Neither the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), mother, nor son oppose father’s requested relief. We reverse and remand solely for the court to strike the statement that father had not completed the parenting class. We affirm on all other grounds.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

On June 21, 2019, DCFS filed a petition on behalf of then- 10-year-old son under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a) and (b-1), alleging that father hit son in the head, back, and chest with his fist and that son was afraid of father. On July 30, 2019, the juvenile court sustained the petition, adjudged son a dependent of the juvenile court, and released son to home of mother.? The court ordered family maintenance services for mother and son.
