Disposition Order (Placement) {CCJP 0604}

CCJP 0604 - DISPOSITION ORDER (Placement) 705 ILCS 405/2-27. This form is used by the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, in the Child Protection Division to formally document the court’s decision regarding the placement and custody of a minor who has been adjudicated as abused, neglected, or dependent. This form is typically completed following a disposition hearing, where the court determines what arrangement serves the best interests and welfare of the child. It records findings related to the fitness and capability of the child’s parents, guardians, or custodians, including whether they are willing and able to care for the child. The court also assesses whether reasonable efforts have been made to prevent removal from the home or to reunify the family, and whether continued custody by the parent or guardian is appropriate. Based on these findings, the court may dismiss the case, return the child to a parent or guardian, or place the child in the custody or guardianship of a relative, private individual, DCFS, or probation officer. The order may also incorporate prior protective orders and authorize the custodian to make medical decisions on behalf of the minor. This disposition remains in effect until further order of the court or until the child reaches a specified age. www.FormsWorkflow.com
