In re J.A.
Mischelle A. (hereafter mother) raises two claims in this appeal from the trial courts order under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 terminating her parental rights to her then 17 month old son, J.A. First, mother contends that the trial court violated the due process rights of J.A.s father because the trial court failed to appoint counsel for him. Next, mother contends that the trial court failed to comply with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) because, among other things, J.A.s name was misspelled on a notice sent to the Indian tribe. Mother lacks standing to raise the first claim, and the second claim lacks merit. Therefore, Court affirm the order terminating mothers parental rights.
