In re Z.B.

Syllabus

The juvenile court did not err in granting permanent custody to the Department of Job and Family Services. The decision was in the best interest of the children because of mother's lack of suitable housing, stable employment, and parenting skills. Father was incarcerated or living in a halfway home in Florida for the entire proceedings. No plain error occurred regarding the Indian Child Welfare Act where mother's testimony indicated the children were not eligible for membership in an Indian tribe. Finally, a single statement by one child that she desired to see her father more did not create a conflict of interest when her GAL recommended the agency be granted custody.
