Abstract
In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court vacated a prior temporary custody order which granted custody to the natural mother, and restored custody to the natural father. The Court reasoned that the previous temporary Custody Order was issued ex parte, directly to the judge without the other party’s knowledge, a practice that has been long prohibited. The lower court judge was removed from that case and deprived of all authority over this matter. This order violated due process rights of the father and the Blackfeet Law and Order Code.
