Dashiell R. v. State of Alaska, Department of Health and Social Services, Office of Children's Services

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed termination of the incarcerated father's parental rights because the evidence supported findings that the conditions harming the children remained unremedied, the State made active efforts to reunify the Indian family, and termination was in the children's best interests. The court did not reach whether the father had made adequate provisions for the children during incarceration because the unremedied-conditions ground independently supported termination.
