Rule 5.03 - Existing Orders; Interim Orders

Unless otherwise ordered, existing orders shall remain in full force and effect during a continuance. When a continuance is ordered, the court may make any interim orders it deems to be in the best interests of the child in accordance with the provisions of Minn. Stat. § 260C.001 -.637.

Minn. Juve. Prot. P. 5.03

Amended 9/1/2019.

2019 Advisory Committee Comment

Rule 5 is amended in 2019 as part of a revision of the Rules of Juvenile Protection Procedure. The amendments to Rule 5 are not intended to substantively change the rule's meaning.

Although a court may grant a continuance in appropriate circumstances, the court should not grant a continuance that would defeat the federal and state time requirements for permanency determinations.
