What is the standard of substantial evidence in the context of abuse of the abuse standard?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Ventura Cnty. Human Servs. Agency v. Christina R. (In re Jonathan R.), 2d Juv. No. B263873 (Cal. App. 2016):

1351 [reviewing court should apply abuse of discretion standard].) We view the evidence in the light most favorable to respondent, giving it the benefit of every reasonable inference and resolving all conflicts in its favor. (In re Marriage of Mix (1975) 14 Cal.3d 604, 614.) "It is not our task to weigh conflicts and disputes in the evidence; that is the province of the trier of fact." (Howard v. Owens Corning (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 621, 630.) "The appellant has the burden of showing the finding . . . is not supported by substantial evidence. [Citation.]" (In re L.Y.L. (2002) 101 Cal.App.4th 942, 947.) "Substantial evidence is reasonable, credible evidence of solid value such that a reasonable trier of fact could make the findings challenged . . . . [Citation.]" (In re Adoption of Myah M. (2011) 201 Cal.App.4th 1518, 1539.)
