In re Elizabeth L.
Craig L., the father of Elizabeth L. and the presumed father of Morgan C., appeals from orders terminating his parental rights. He contends the juvenile court failed to secure compliance with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) (ICWA). He further argues that, to the extent ICWA applies, the juvenile court failed to comply with ICWAs substantive requirements, including the requirement that an order terminating parental rights with respect to an Indian child must be supported by the testimony of a qualified expert witness. Court reverse and remand for the limited purpose of securing compliance with ICWAs notice requirements.
