1.25.050 Full Faith and Credit to Other Jurisdictions

(a) The Children's Court, Child Welfare Coordinator and other officials of the Bad River tribal government shall grant the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of other entities applicable to Indian child welfare proceedings full faith and credit to the same extent such entities give full faith and credit to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of the Tribe.

(b) Without limitation to subsection (a) above, the Children's Court may, upon petition, accept a case originally brought in another court. Cases not accepted by the Children's Court within 60 days of the entry of the order transferring the case shall be deemed a declination of the case. The Children's Court may decline or waive jurisdiction over a child at any time and may grant hearings upon a motion to decline or waive jurisdiction.

(c) Upon entry of the order transferring the case, dispositional orders in effect when the case was transferred to the Children's Court shall have the same effect as if they had issued from the Children's Court, regardless of whether the Children's Court would in fact have had the power to make the order. Regardless of the law of other jurisdictions, the Children's Court may modify, extend, suspend or terminate any order issued in a transferred judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 1.25.200 of this chapter.

(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to conflict with subSection 1.25.040(d) of this chapter.
