How to Ask to Return to Juvenile Court
Jurisdiction and Foster Care
JV-464-INFO
The court will send a copy of the notice and your
papers to:
–
The lawyer assigned to your case, and
–
The office that supervised you when the juvenile
court’s jurisdiction was dismissed. That office
must make a report about your eligibility to return
to foster care.
If you ask for it on the form JV-466, the court can
also send a notice to your parents or former legal
guardian and the CASA office for your former
CASA.
At your hearing, the judge will review the evidence and
decide your case.
What happens at the hearing?
If the court decides you meet the requirements, you will be
allowed to return to foster care. You will also have to go
back to court within 6 months to tell the court how you are
doing. Your lawyer will also go with you to that hearing. If
you used to be a dependent, you will be under the juvenile
court’s dependency jurisdiction.
If the court denies your request, you can file another request
later if your situation changes so that you meet the
requirements.
If you used to be a ward, you will be under the juvenile
court’s transition jurisdiction.
When will the hearing happen?
If you filed your court papers yourself and the court decides
there is enough information to decide your case, the hearing
will happen about three weeks after you filed your court
papers.
If you asked a social worker or probation officer to file your
court papers and the court decides there is enough
information to decide your case, the hearing will happen
about six weeks after you ask the social worker or probation
officer to file your court papers.
A judge with the court in the county where your court
case was closed will decide if your court case should be
reopened.
Who will decide if I can return to juvenile
court jurisdiction and foster care?
You do not qualify because of your age. If this
happens, you cannot file another request.
The judge can decide that
:
The information you gave to the court shows that
you do not meet one of the eligibility requirements or
the court needs more information to decide your case.
If this happens, the court will deny your request and
send you a letter explaining why your request was
denied. The court will also send you a list of lawyers
who can help you with your case. You can file
another request that includes the information that was
missing.
The court has enough information to decide your
case and wants you to come to a court hearing. If
this happens, you will get a notice telling you the
date, time, and place of your hearing. The court will
also assign a lawyer to speak for you at the hearing.
