9.02.130 Support of Child from Its Estate or Estate of Its Parent; Allowance to Parent or Tribe

The Tribal Court may direct an allowance to be made to a parent of a child out of the child's property for the child's past or future and education, on such conditions as may be proper.

If a parent dies leaving the support of its child chargeable upon the Tribe, but leaving an estate sufficient for the child's support, the Tribe may claim provision for the child's support from his parents' estate by civil action, and for this purpose may have the same remedies as creditors against the estate and against the heirs, devisees, and next of kin of the parent.
