In re M.B. CA2/5
Because the sole issue raised in mother’s appeal is ICWA compliance, we focus primarily on the facts and procedural background relevant to that issue. Shortly after minor’s birth in October 2019, she was detained from parental custody based on domestic violence between mother and J.B. (father). Mother denied any Indian ancestry, and both parents filed ICWA-020 forms that did not provide any information regarding Indian ancestry. At the detention hearing, the juvenile court found that ICWA did not apply. At the jurisdiction and disposition hearing in January 2020, the court noted parents’ prior responses on the ICWA-020 forms, asked if there was any additional information, and not receiving any information to the contrary from either parent or their counsel, found no reason to believe or know that the case was covered by ICWA. Minor was placed with paternal aunt, and remained there throughout the dependency proceeding.
