Pravat v. State

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the termination of Pravat's parental rights to his three Indian children. It held that the evidence supported the superior court's findings that the State made active efforts toward reunification, Pravat failed to remedy the conditions placing the children at risk, returning the children would likely cause serious harm, and termination served their best interests. The court also held that completing a case plan did not establish remediation when Pravat continued to deny the children's needs and his own harmful conduct.
