California Court of Appeal

In a family law action, the trial court's disposition order removing Anthony Q. from his presumed father's physical custody is affirmed where the trial court's uncontestably erroneous reliance on Welfare and Institutions Code section 361(c), which permits removal of a child from physical custody only when the child resides with a parent at the time of the petition's initiation, was harmless and the trial court possessed broader authority under section 361(a) and section 362(a).
