Properly issued court and administrative orders, judgments, or decrees of other Tribes, states, or federal agencies establishing paternity will be given comity. Such orders will be considered properly issued when the issuing court or administrative agency has personal jurisdiction over the person claimed to be bound by the foreign order, subject-matter jurisdiction over the matter, proper service of process under the law of the issuing jurisdiction was made on such person, and the order was issued according of the laws of that jurisdiction and does not violate the public policy of the Yurok Tribe. The Court shall not, however, recognize any paternity judgments entered by default that offend the policies of the Yurok Tribe Enrollment Department. [Ord. 50 § 6.14, adopted, 3/23/2017.]
