Abstract

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court rescinded an order of the lower court which grated permanent custody to the mother because the child’s father was denied due process when he was not given any notification of the hearing. Even though there were attempts to locate the father, service could not be made. The Blackfeet Tribal Code allows for service by publication in the local newspaper, which was not attempted. The Court further ordered the father to keep his current address updated with law enforcement or his attorney.
