In re M.W. CA2/2
In this appeal, Michael W. (father) challenges the juvenile court’s exertion of dependency jurisdiction over his daughter, M.W. J.W. (mother) challenges the court’s failure to notify the Cherokee tribe after she reported possible Cherokee heritage, as required by the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.). We conclude that substantial evidence supports the court’s jurisdictional and dispositional orders, but, as the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (Department) concedes must be done, order a limited remand to the juvenile court to give the notice required by ICWA.
