What is the test for making an order that would have been made by a different judge?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Michelle D. v. & (In re A.D.), F068823 (Cal. App. 2014):
The test is not whether this court would have made the same order or whether the trial court could have reasonably made some other order, but "'whether the trial court could reasonably have concluded that the order in question advanced the "best interest" of the child.'" (Lester v. Lennane (2000) 84 Cal.App.4th 536, 595.)
