In re A.H. CA2/1
In these dependency proceedings, L.B. (mother) appeals from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights over A.H., her four-year-old son, contending the court erred in finding no substantial evidence supported a finding that the parental-benefit exception to adoption applied, in applying improper legal criteria to that determination, and in finding the lack of a complete inquiry under the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) to be nonprejudicial. We agree with each contention, and thus reverse with directions to order a further ICWA inquiry.
