Petition For Release Of Responsibility Under Order Of Placement {10-15}

Form 10-15 - PETITION FOR RELEASE OF RESPONSIBILITY UNDER ORDER OF PLACEMENT. This form is used in New York Family Court when an authorized agency seeks to be released from its legal responsibility for a child who was previously placed in its custody under an Article 10 child protective order. The petition is typically filed by the authorized agency currently responsible for the child’s care and supervision. It provides the agency’s name and address, the date of the original Order of Placement, and a statement explaining the reasons why the agency requests to be released—such as the child’s transfer, return to court jurisdiction, or completion of placement terms. The petition warns parents that a child’s extended stay in foster care—15 of the most recent 22 months—may require the agency by law to file a termination of parental rights (TPR) petition, potentially leading to adoption without parental consent. The document concludes with a verification under penalty of perjury, signed by a duly authorized agency representative. F.C.A. §1074. www.FormsWorkflow.com
