Q. Missing tribal court not knowing court date when it was changed and never received letter for the new date...

September 19, 2023

A: If it was a guardianship hearing, you will most likely not get in trouble. Many parents with children in guardianships do not appear in court. However, your failure to appear at court hearings could be detrimental to you in the future. If there comes a time when you would like the children returned to you, the judge may take into account how many court hearings you have attended. On the other hand, guardianships are generally reviewed only once or twice a year, so don't miss the next one. Go to the Court house and make sure the court clerk puts your current address and mailing address (if different) in the case file. That way, you will never miss another hearing.

On another note, your aunt probably didn't file child support on you. It was probably requested by the guardian ad litem, which is the attorney for the child.

Good luck to you in future hearings. ... Read More
