In re Athena H. CA4/1
APPEAL from judgments of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Michael J. Popkins, Judge. Affirmed in part and conditionally reversed in part with directions.
Roni Keller, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
Thomas E. Montgomery, County Counsel, John E. Philips, Chief Deputy County Counsel, and Jesica Fellman, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
M.M. (Mother) appeals the jurisdiction and disposition orders declaring her daughters Athena H., Amelia H., and A.H. (collectively, the children) dependents of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b) and removing them from parental custody. Mother contends the orders and findings made at the contested jurisdiction and disposition hearing must be reversed and vacated because the hearing went forward without compliance with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA; 25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.).
