Petition Termination Of Placement {7-9}

Form 7-9 - PETITION (Termination of Placement). This is a New York Family Court form filed under Family Court Act §764 to request the court end the placement of a youth adjudicated as a Person in Need of Supervision (PINS). The petitioner—typically a parent, guardian, next friend, or authorized agency—states that the respondent was previously placed in custody pursuant to an Order of Fact-Finding and Disposition under Article 7 of the Family Court Act. The petition identifies the original placement agency, the duration of the placement, and explains why the placement should be terminated (for example, successful adjustment, change in circumstances, or other compelling reasons). Before filing, the petitioner must have applied to the placement agency for the respondent’s release; if that request was denied or not acted upon within 30 days, the court petition may proceed. The form concludes with a verification statement signed under penalty of perjury, either by the individual petitioner or by an authorized agency representative. F.C.A. §764. www.FormsWorkflow.com
