B. In cases of necessity, the Court may order a traditional custodian to assist in providing the necessities of life within that custodian’s means after a hearing, whether the child has been placed in his own home or elsewhere.

C. When the Indian Child Welfare Department is paying for alternative/foster care for such child, the contribution of the parent shall be paid to the Court Clerk and dispensed by court order to the agency or the Osage Nation as may be necessary by law or appropriate in the circumstances.
