Rules of Civil Procedure – Effective November 1, 2021

URCP024. Intervention. AMEND. Under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), an Indian Tribe is permitted to intervene in a child custody proceeding involving an Indian child. These cases arise in both district and juvenile court. Amendments to Rule 24, which track those already adopted in Juvenile Rule 50, allow the adoption of a uniform approach to ICWA in both juvenile and district court.

URCP062. Stay of proceedings to enforce a judgment or order. AMEND. Among other amendments intended to streamline and improve Rule 62’s efficacy, the amendments extend the time for an automatic stay from 14 days to 28 days and provide that a party may obtain a stay of the enforcement of a judgment or order to pay money by providing a bond or other security.
