In re Ava L. CA4/3
Jordan A. (father) appeals from May 2017 juvenile court orders terminating his parental rights (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26; all references to this code unless otherwise noted) to his daughter, Ava L. (born in June 2015). Father contends the juvenile court and Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) failed to comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq. (ICWA)) because the notices sent to the relevant tribes and governmental agencies contained insufficient and incorrect information concerning Ava’s ancestry. For the reasons expressed below, we will conditionally reverse the judgment and remand with directions to provide adequate ICWA notification.
