Statutes | Hoh Indian Tribe Law and Order Code Title 9 ยง 1.21 | 2020
The purpose of this Section is to insure compliance with the Full Faith and Credit provision of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (V.A.W.A) as set forth in Title 18 of the United States Code, section 2265 (18 U.S.C. SS2265), and to insure that victims of domestic violence are able to move across state and tribal boundaries without losing ability to enforce protection orders they have previously obtained to increase their safety. A foreign protection order is valid if the issuing court had jurisdiction over the parties and matter under the law of the state, territory, possession, Indian tribe, or United States military tribunal. A person under restraint must be given reasonable notice and the opportunity to be heard before the protection order of the foreign state, territory, possession, Indian tribe or United States military tribunal was issued. In the case of an ex parte order, notice and opportunity to be heard must have been provided within a reasonable time after the order was issued, consistent with due process.
