In re Kira M.
Jennifer M. appeals from orders terminating her parental rights with respect to her daughters, Kira M. and Morgan M. Jennifer contends the juvenile court failed to secure compliance with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) (ICWA), and she argues this court should grant an unqualified remand permitting the juvenile court to reconsider its orders terminating Jennifers parental rights.
Court dismiss the appeal from the order terminating parental rights as to Kira because Jennifer did not timely file her notice of appeal in that case. With regard to Morgan, Court agree the requirements of ICWA were not satisfied but Court do not agree that Jennifer is entitled to an unqualified remand. Court reverse and remand for the limited purpose of securing compliance with ICWA.
