(A) A party interested in transferring jurisdiction to Tribal Court must first file a petition to transfer, along with any supporting documentation, stipulations, or legal authorities, as appropriate or necessary, with the Tribal Court.
(B) Upon issuance of a Tribal Court order accepting transfer of jurisdiction, the transferring court must transfer the case absent good cause to deny the transfer. Both courts must approve of the transfer. [Res. 22-R-037, 2/24/2022; Res. 09-R-062 Title 1 § (3)(B), 4/30/2009.]
