Full text of Colorado Colorado Revised Statutes § 19-1.2-124 — Tribal customary adoption., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 19-1.2-124. Tribal customary adoption.
(1) If the Indian child's parent, Indian custodian, or tribe provides notice to the court and the parties in writing or orally on the record that the Indian child's parent, Indian custodian, or tribe is pursuing a tribal customary adoption as a resolution to the child custody proceeding, the Indian child's parent, Indian custodian, or tribe must secure a motion to transfer the case to tribal court pursuant to section 19-1.2-118 within sixty-three days after receiving the notice. If the Indian child's parent, Indian custodian, or tribe does not secure a motion to transfer the case within sixty-three days, the court may consider other permanency or placement options pursuant to this article 1.2 as a resolution to the child custody proceeding. Failure to secure the motion to transfer the case within sixty-three days does not prevent the Indian child's parent, Indian custodian, or tribe from filing a motion to transfer the case to a tribal court at a later date.
(2) Upon the request of the Indian child's tribe or another party to the case in which the tribal customary adoption was issued, the court shall certify a tribal customary adoption order and treat the order in accordance with the full faith and credit provisions set forth in section 19-1.2-131.
