Motion For Leave To Amend Petition For Adjudication Of Wardship {CCJP 0661}

CCJP 0661 - MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND PETITION FOR ADJUDICATION OF WARDSHIP. This form is used in the Child Protection Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, when a party—typically the State, Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), or guardian ad litem—seeks the court’s permission to modify or add allegations to an existing petition regarding a minor’s wardship. This motion is filed in cases where new information or evidence supports additional claims that a child has been neglected, abused, or is otherwise dependent, under various sections of the Juvenile Court Act. The form provides checkboxes and space to specify which statutory grounds are being added or amended—such as lack of care, injurious environment, drug exposure, physical or sexual abuse, torture, or excessive corporal punishment—and requires a factual basis for each allegation. www.FormsWorkflow.com
