What is the test for determining whether a juvenile court has considered the wishes of the child consistent with the child's age?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Sacramento Cnty. Dep't of Child, Family & Adult Servs. v. B.H. (In re H.H.), C090367 (Cal. App. 2020):

As a preliminary matter, the court's minute order states the court "has considered the wishes of the child, consistent with the child's age." We presume the juvenile court did what it said it did. (People v. Mosley (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 489, 496 ["The general rule is that a trial court is presumed to have been aware of and followed the applicable law"].)
