In re K.O.
A.B., mother, appeals from a judgment granting a petition, pursuant to Family Code section 7822,[1] declaring her daughter, K., free from her custody and control. The petition was brought by Loretta, mother’s mother and K.’s grandmother, and Angel, Loretta’s husband. The family court granted the petition to terminate mother’s parental rights. In its order, the family court also granted the petition to terminate K.’s father’s parental rights.[2]
Mother contends there is insufficient evidence to support the family court’s findings. She also contends that the family court failed to comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA; 25 U.S.C., § 1901 et seq.). We agree with her latter contention and reverse and remand for the sole purpose of compliance with the ICWA. In all other respects, the order terminating mother’s parental rights is affirmed.
