In re N.W.
Appellants N.J. (mother) and W.W. (father) appeal from the February 5, 2009 order terminating their respective parental rights to A.H. and his half-siblings, N.W. and M.W. (collectively, the children).[1] Both parents and the Department of Children and Family Services (the department) agree that the matter must be remanded to the juvenile court for compliance with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). In addition, father contends the juvenile court erred in denying his Welfare and Institutions Code section 388 petition seeking reunification services under Adoption of Kelsey S. (1992) 1 Cal.4th 816 (Kelsey S.).[2] And mother contends the juvenile court erred in refusing to hold a hearing on her request to have her appointed counsel replaced under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden). Court remand for compliance with ICWA but otherwise affirm the judgment.
