In re Joshua B. CA2/8
The juvenile court asserted jurisdiction over Joshua B. after finding his mother, M.M. (Mother), had an unresolved history of substance abuse. Mother challenges the court’s subsequent dispositional order requiring that she undergo an Evidence Code section 730 mental health evaluation. She also contends the juvenile court erred in finding the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA; 25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) does not apply to this case and by failing to ensure the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) complied with ICWA’s inquiry and notice requirements. We affirm the dispositional order and remand the matter for the juvenile court and DCFS to comply with ICWA.
