Fillable PDFJudicial Council of California
This form notifies a tribe that a court case involving an Indian child has been filed and asks the court to transfer the case to tribal jurisdiction so the tribe can handle custody or welfare decisions instead. Social workers, attorneys, or other court representatives use this form when they believe a case involving a Native American child should be decided by the child's tribe rather than the state court system.
