Title
26. Minors
Chapter
26-7A. Juvenile Court
§ 26-7A-2. Original jurisdiction of dependency and delinquency proceedings-- Effect of custody award in prior divorce proceedings--Application of Indian Child Welfare Act
The
circuit court has original jurisdiction in all proceedings under this
chapter and chapters 26-8A, 26-8B, and 26-8C.
If a child custody award
has been made in a circuit court in a divorce action or other proceeding
and the jurisdiction of the divorce court is continuing, a circuit court
may nevertheless acquire jurisdiction in proceedings involving the same
child if the child is alleged to be abused, neglected, in need of supervision,
delinquent, or otherwise comes within the jurisdiction set forth in this
section.
Due
regard shall be afforded to the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. §§
1901-1963) if that act is applicable.
