California Court of Appeal

In an action involving parental visitation rights, juvenile court order denying visitation and conjoint therapy is reversed where although the issues raised in the appeal are effectively moot, the court's finding of detriment and its visitation order were not made in accordance with the proper standard, and thus the order is reversed to avoid any possible collateral prejudice to defendant.
