CHC 1053 - Hearing

Art. 1053. Hearing

A. At the hearing, the court may, in the best interest of the child:

(1) Allow contact between the parent and child, and if so, under what conditions.

(2) Restore the parental rights of the parent.

(3) Place the child in the custody of the parent with or without continuing supervision of the department. If the court orders placement of the child in the custody of a parent who resides out of state, it shall order compliance with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children.

B. If the department, counsel for the child, CASA volunteer, and the parent stipulate that restoration of parental rights or parental contact is in the best interest of the child, the court may, after reviewing the report of the department, enter a judgment to that effect without a hearing.

C. The restoration of parental rights and placement of the child in the custody of the parent without supervision by the department is considered a permanent placement. Any other disposition by the court shall be made part of the case plan.
