Additional Information
Q. I am a parent or legal guardian in an ICWA case, who do I contact for representation?
CILS only represents Tribes in dependency cases, we cannot represent parents, legal guardians, or other family members. Parents, legal guardians, and Indian Custodians whose children have been removed due to abuse and/or neglect allegations are entitled to court appointed legal representation in child welfare cases. To obtain representation, you must tell CPS or the court that you want an attorney.
