California Court of Appeal

Mother's appeal from juvenile court's order terminating dependency jurisdiction over minor, who turned 18 and requested the order, is dismissed for lack of standing, where: 1) a mother who is not receiving reunification services does not have standing to appeal the court’s dismissal of dependency jurisdiction over an adult child simply based on her interest in the companionship of her adult child; and 2) mother's legal interest in companionship was eliminated entirely, at least for purposes of this dependency proceeding, when minor turned 18.
