J. McKinster finds that the trial court order terminating a mother's parental rights was based on evidence that her child was likely to be adopted and that the child wanted her foster caregiver "to be her forever mother." Also, the child was not distressed when visits with her mother ended. Affirmed.

J. Aoyagi finds the juvenile court erred in modifying a mother’s parenting time and child support provisions. “There is an internal inconsistency in the modification judgment as to the number of overnights that the child is to spend with each parent, which appears to be the result of the trial court adopting father’s proposed parenting-time plan, which itself contained an internal inconsistency.” Vacated.

J. Joyce finds the juvenile court properly changed a permanency plan from reunification to adoption. “Due to her cognitive limitations, mother does not have the ability to safely parent [daughter] without support, yet mother has had inconsistent contact with DHS for significant periods of time and has not demonstrated a willingness to accept that support.” Affirmed.

J. Menetrez finds that the trial court properly concluded that a family services agency was not required to make an initial Indian Child Welfare Act inquiry during dependency proceedings for a mother's five children. Both the mother and father repeatedly denied the possibility of Indian ancestry, so further inquiries with extended family members were unnecessary. Affirmed.

J. Banke finds that a human services agency did not present sufficient evidence that a father had lied about his sobriety for the trial court to find that he posed a risk of serious physical risk to his child. The trial court's removal order was error, as no evidence showed that other reasonable means besides removal from the non-custodial father were available to protect the child from the mother's addictions. Reversed.

J. Virden finds the circuit court properly terminated the father’s parental rights. A family services worker testified that DHS had placed a hold on three children after police responded to the mother’s home following a report of her and her boyfriend physically fighting while intoxicated. The child shared by her and the father had been living with the mother because the father was in prison because he was convicted of two counts of felon in possession of a firearm. The child has had a stable foster home for over two years. The father concedes that she could not live with him at the halfway house and there is little likelihood that services would result in successful reunification. Affirmed.
