D.B., In re (2022) E079380 E079380; filed 12/6/22. ![[Files/CaseFiles/E079380.PDF]] [Opinion PDF](https://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/archive/E079380.PDF) ## Rule excerpts 2022 construction of Welfare and Institutions Code section 224.2(b): available paternal relatives and initial inquiry; citing In re Dominick D. (2022) 82 Cal.App.5th 560, 567. > For ICWA purposes, the paternal grandmother is an “extended family member,” and the paternal great-grandmother is someone with “an interest in the child.” (See In re Dominick D. (2022) 82 Cal.App.5th 560, 567.) Because both of them were available during the dependency proceedings, the Department should have asked them if they had Indian ancestry and whether D.B. is or may be an Indian child.
