ARSD 67:12:01:76
The department shall waive the requirement contained in subdivision 67:12:01:75(1) if:
(3) The department determines, based on evidence, that the minor parent and child would be subjected to serious physical or emotional harm if they were to live with an adult relative.
If the department determines that it is not in the best interests of the minor parent and child to live with an adult relative, the department may require the minor parent and child to live in an adult-supervised living arrangement. The adult-supervised living arrangement must be approved by the department and must provide child development, family budgeting, health and nutrition, and other parenting skills to promote the minor parent's long-term economic independence and the well-being of the child.
