Nebraska COA Orders Trial Court to Comply with ICWA

The case, In re Lawrence H., is here.

From the court’s intro:

Ida H. and Jose O. appeal the order of the separate juvenile court of Douglas County that terminated their parental rights to their son Lawrence H., also known as Faren H. (Faren). Because we conclude that the juvenile court erred in deferring its ruling on the motion to transfer of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska (Omaha Tribe), we reverse the juvenile court’s denial of the motion to transfer, vacate and dismiss the order terminating parental rights, and remand with directions to transfer the matter to tribal court.
