Permanency Plan Hearing Order With Termination Of Parental Rights {JD-1791T}

JD-1791T - PERMANENCY HEARING ORDER WITH TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS NOTICE. This form is used in the Wisconsin Circuit Court to document findings and legal determinations following a permanency hearing for a child or juvenile placed in out-of-home care. This hearing evaluates whether the child’s current living arrangement continues to be necessary, safe, and appropriate, and whether efforts are being made to return the child home or achieve another permanent outcome, such as adoption or guardianship. The court reviews the agency’s permanency plan, assesses compliance by the involved parties—including parents, service providers, and the child—and determines whether progress has been made toward resolving the conditions that led to the child’s removal from the home. This form also includes a Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) Notice, which serves to inform the parents of the legal grounds that could lead to the involuntary termination of their parental rights. These may include abandonment, failure to assume parental responsibility, child abuse, ongoing need for protection or services, and other statutory reasons. The court may also evaluate whether reasonable efforts have been made by the agency to place siblings together and involve the child in age-appropriate activities. If the child is nearing adulthood, the court considers the suitability and progress of any transition to independent living plan. If the permanency goal is not being met or if reunification is not in the child’s best interest, the court may modify the goal and order next steps, such as filing a new permanency plan or a change of placement request. The form ensures all parties, including the parents, legal counsel, caseworkers, and the court, are aligned in understanding the child’s situation, the efforts being made, and the legal risks, especially regarding the potential loss of parental rights. This order is considered final for the purpose of appeal if signed by a Circuit Court judge. §§48.38 and 938.38, Wisconsin Statutes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
