Velasquez, L., Aplt v. Miranda, L.

Summary

Justice Brobson dissents from the majority’s decision that the Delaware County Custody Court has jurisdiction to make predicate SIJS determinations and that the case should be remanded to that court. The dissent agrees the court is a "juvenile court" for jurisdictional purposes but argues the majority erred in directing the Custody Court to issue reunification findings and in applying the wrong standard of appellate review. It proposes remanding the matter to the Pennsylvania Superior Court to review the Custody Court’s discretion.
