(a) At any time, the parties may enter into a stipulated agreement as to the establishment of parentage or the level of child support obligation. If the respondent contends that the Yurok Tribe’s child support guidelines are unjust as applied to his or her situation, he or she must establish this in a hearing before the Yurok Tribal Court.

(b) The signed voluntary agreement shall be submitted to the Yurok Tribal Court for approval and enforcement. After the Court approves the agreement, it shall be filed with the Clerk of the Tribal Court and it shall have the same force as an order issued by the Court. The obligation of the noncustodial parent to pay child support shall commence on the date that the stipulated agreement is filed.

(c) The signed voluntary agreement as to the establishment of parentage may be rescinded within 60 days from the date the voluntary agreement was signed by both parents by filing a statement of rescission with Yurok Child Support Services. [Ord. 50 § 6.6, adopted, 3/23/2017.]
