In re Marriage of Purnell52, 52 Cal. App.4^th 527 (Cal. Ct. App. 1997). The California court had jurisdiction to dissolve a marriage, where one of the parties was a member of a Native American tribe. The court was not barred from ordering the mother to pay child support, although her sole source of income was her tribal allotment. Although the allotment could not be attached, the mother owned valuable private property that could be attached in order to enforce her child support obligation, and the order expressly provided that the court did not order the mother to pay her child support obligation from her tribal allotment.
