continued-custody hearing

Read a random definition: lex Angliae

A quick definition of continued-custody hearing:

A hearing is when people go to court to talk about a problem and try to find a solution. Sometimes, people bring witnesses to help explain what happened. There are different types of hearings, like custody hearings for parents who are getting divorced, or shelter hearings when the state thinks a child is being hurt and needs to be protected. At a hearing, a judge listens to everyone and makes a decision about what should happen next.

A more thorough explanation:

A continued-custody hearing is a type of hearing that is held in family law cases shortly after a child has been removed from their home due to suspected abuse or neglect. The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether the state has adequate cause to maintain the children in protective care.

For example, if a child is removed from their home by Child Protective Services due to suspected abuse, a continued-custody hearing will be held within 24 to 72 hours to determine whether the child should remain in protective care or be returned to their home.

Another example is if a child is removed from their home and placed in foster care, a continued-custody hearing will be held to determine whether the child should remain in foster care or be returned to their home.

Overall, a continued-custody hearing is an important step in ensuring the safety and well-being of children who have been removed from their homes due to suspected abuse or neglect.
