Q: I recently lost all right to my kids in a native american court. Can the ICWA help me as a non-native biological parent? If not, Do i have any recourse at all? I have already been through the appeals court which upheld the decision.
A: David's Answer: If you already tried to challenge jurisdiction of that court & lost, then the ICWA would generally give that court authority to terminate your parental rights. It may be worth it to schedule a consult with a Family Law attorney in your area who is familiar with the ICWA for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
