It is the purpose of this chapter to ensure that domestic violence protection offers issued by other jurisdictions, including tribal, federal and state courts, be honored and enforced by the courts of the Grand Traverse Band as well as Tribal Law Enforcement. Chapter X of the Tribal Court Rules obligates the Tribal Court to grant full faith and credit to judgments of other tribal courts, Michigan courts, and federal courts. The Tribe finds that federal law, 18 U.S.C.§ 2265, requires state and tribal courts to honor protection orders entered by each court. Moreover, MCR 2.615 (Enforcement of Tribal Judgments) provides that judgments, decrees, orders, warrants, subpoenas, records, and other judicial acts are recognized by all state courts of Michigan.
History: Tribal Act #07-25.1862, enacted by Tribal Council on December 19, 2007.
