In re K.N.
H.M. (mother) and K.N. (father) appeal the jurisdictional and dispositional orders as to K.N., Jr. (minor). They contend that the Department of Children and Family Services (Department) failed to adequately inquire as to whether the minor is an Indian child for purposes of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). This argument has merit. But reversal is not required. Rather, we affirm the appealed orders with instructions to the juvenile court to direct the Department to make the further inquiries required by California Rules of Court, rule 5.481(a)(4).
