Discharge of child

As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.17. Amended by P.L.116-2026, SEC.11.
  1. (a) When the juvenile court finds that the objectives of the dispositional decree have been met, the court shall discharge the child and the child's parent, guardian, or custodian.
  2. (b) The objectives of the dispositional decree are not considered met solely because a court is prohibited from changing a child's placement under IC 31-34-23-6 (g).
  3. (c) If a child's placement has been stayed under IC 31-34-23-6 (g), the court may not consider:

    1. (1) the existence of a pending adoption; or
    2. (2) any pending matters or hearings in the adoption;

      to determine whether the objectives of the dispositional decree have been met under subsection (a).
