Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Rachael E. Seymour, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (6 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights, drawing on provisions of the Iowa Indian Child Welfare Act. OPINION HOLDS: We reverse and remand because the record is deficient on required qualified-expert testimony. We do not disturb the status quo from the underlying child-in-need-of-assistance cases or any existing no-contact orders.
