The obligor shall respond no later than 20 days after service by filing a statement with the Tribal Court. If the obligor’s statement claims that any of the amounts alleged to be delinquent have been paid, describes in detail the method of payment or offers any other defense to the petition, then the obligor is entitled to a hearing. The filing deadline may be extended to provide respondents who are deployed on active duty in the armed forces or are seasonally employed in employment (e.g., fire fighting) that requires deployment from home with an adequate opportunity to respond. [Ord. 50 § 7.9(2), adopted, 3/23/2017.]
