Section 1054. Release to custody of parent or other person responsible for care; supervision or order of protection  


Latest version.
  • (a)  If  the  order  of
      disposition  releases  the  child  to the custody of his parent or other
      person legally responsible for his care at the time of the filing of the
      petition, the court may place the person to whose custody the  child  is
      released  under  supervision of a child protective agency or of a social
      services official or duly authorized agency, or may enter  an  order  of
      protection  under  section  ten  hundred fifty-six, or both. An order of
      supervision entered under this section shall set  forth  the  terms  and
      conditions  of  such  supervision  that the respondent must meet and the
      actions that the child protective agency, social  services  official  or
      duly  authorized  agency must take to exercise such supervision.  Except
      as provided for herein, in any order issued pursuant  to  this  section,
      the  court  may  require  the  child  protective agency to make progress
      reports to the court, the parties, and the child's law guardian  on  the
      implementation  of  such order. Where the order of disposition is issued
      upon the consent of the parties  and  the  child's  law  guardian,  such
      agency  shall  report  to  the  court,  the  parties and the child's law
      guardian no later than ninety days after  the  issuance  of  the  order,
      unless the court determines that the facts and circumstances of the case
      do not require such report to be made.
        (b)  Rules  of  court shall define permissible terms and conditions of
      supervision  under  this  section.  The  duration  of  any   period   of
      supervision  shall be for an initial period of no more than one year and
      the court may at the expiration of that period, upon a hearing  and  for
      good  cause  shown, make successive extensions of such supervision of up
      to one year each.
