California Court of Appeal

A parent's constitutional right against judicial interference with the parent's day-to-day child rearing decisions applies to a fit parent who has custody of the child. Denial of parents' petition to terminate a guardianship is affirmed where substantial evidence supported the trial court's decision that terminating the guardianship would not have been in the minor's best interest.
