Q: Can I stop an out of state move of MY 2 Children from Washington State to Wyoming?Like an emergency hearing to stop move
MY 2 Children are under ICWA.
MY position is that the dept dcyf/cps failed at doing their part and same w the tribe they have both lost the opportunity 2 do their job. The tribe, well the tribe reps failed at representing their tribe member by not supporting MY Children the entire dependency( which has been at a stand still 5yrs this dependency has been going on). Ive emailed MY Children's tribe over 51x asking and begging in each email "where is the tribe? MY Children need the tribe 2 stand up 4 them." Only 3 emails in 5 years vs MY 51+ emails. Now they want to move MY 2 young Children out of state from Washington to Wyoming where their tribe is located. I have a Supreme Court ruling in favor of MY Family and that the dept is 2 return MY Children to ME immediately unless the lower court could show harm would be done by ME and that the dept failed at providing MY Family w services. I have completed successfully all things asked of ME 19x before.Never finding of harm same allegations

A: If you wish to stop the out-of-state move of your two children from Washington to Wyoming, you should immediately consult with an attorney in Washington who is familiar with child custody and ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) matters. An attorney can help you assess the situation, determine if an emergency hearing is appropriate, and represent your interests in court to protect your parental rights and the best interests of your children.
