1.25.200 Extensions and Modifications

(a) At any time in the last two months of the period in which a dispositional order issued by the Children's Court or issued by another court and subsequently transferred to the Children's Court is effective, any person with an interest in the child, or any person who was a party to the original proceedings may move or petition for an extension of the court's or dispositional order.

(b) In the event a motion or petition for extension is filed within the time period specified in Section 1.25.200(a), the Court may make such temporary extension orders as are necessary to preserve its jurisdiction and to protect the interests of the child pending a full hearing on the extension motion or petition.

(c) The scope of inquiry at the hearing on an extension is whether the conditions that warranted the adjudication continue or whether new circumstances provide jurisdiction pursuant to Section 1.25.060. If an extension is sought on the ground of new circumstances, the circumstances justifying extended jurisdiction shall be alleged in the petition. To assist the court, parties and guardian ad litem, parties may prepare and distribute court reports similar to those called for in Section 1.25.190.

(d) Upon motion or petition by any person with an interest in the child, for good cause shown, the Court may modify a dispositional order any time before one year after entry of the order sought to be modified unless a shorter period is provided by the Court in the order.
