Child Custody and Visitation
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), 25 U.S.C. §1901 et. seq., is considered one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation for tribes, children and families. Enacted in 1978, the ICWA provides tribes, parents, Indian children and Indian custodians with a variety of rights and articulates federal minimum standards which must be applied in state court child custody proceedings. MPKGC’s attorneys understand and work to diligently protect the most valuable and vital resource of tribes—their children.
