Platte County, County Court Judge Frank J. Skorupa
Attorney for Appellant: Sharon E. Joseph (Joseph Law Office)
Attorney for Appellee: Breanna Anderson (County Attorney's Office)
Guardian ad Litem for the minor children: Jacqueline Tessendorf (Tessendorf & Tessendorf, P.C.)
Civil Action: Change of Permanency Objective
Action Taken by Trial Court: The trial court changed the permanency objective from reunification with a concurrent plan for guardianship, to a permanency objective of guardianship only.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Did the court err in changing the permanency objective? Did the court comply with ICWA and NICWA in finding active efforts were made? Did the court comply with ICWA and NICWA in appointing a guardian and was the appointment supported by the appropriate expert witness testimony?
