The Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. §§ 1901–1963) is a United States federal law that gives tribal governments a strong voice concerning child custody proceedings that involve Indian children, by allocating tribes exclusive jurisdiction over the case when the child resides on, or is domiciled on, the reservation and concurrent, but presumptive, jurisdiction over non-reservation Native Americans' foster care placement proceedings in State courts. It provides greater protections by requiring tribal involvement in state court proceedings and by increasing the standard of proof at each stage of the abuse and neglect process.
Attorney Michael Rausch is a seasoned civil litigator and trial lawyer whose litigation practice includes insurance defense and coverage, Indian law, business law, construction law, personal injury and property damage, probate, product liability, guardianships, parenting plans, and divorce. His transactional practice includes estate planning, real estate transactions, liens, covenants, home owners associations, personnel policies and procedures, business formation, contracts, other dispute resolution and negotiations. Mike is a guardian ad litem for Cascade County and represents children and grandparents in abuse and neglect proceedings.
