Michigan COA Conditionally Reverses ICWA Matter for Lack of Proper Notice

Here is the opinion:

In re Mull

An excerpt:

In these consolidated appeals, respondent-mother S. Greene and respondent-father J. Mull each appeal the trial court’s order that terminated their parental rights. The court terminated respondent-mother’s parental rights to all four children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (g), (j), and (k)(iii), and terminated respondent-father’s parental rights to his three children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(ii), (g), and (j). Because the trial court did not follow the precise notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), we conditionally reverse the termination order with respect to both respondents only as to this issue, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
