HISTORY: Adopted by Order 2020-1, eff. 2-1-20

Plain-English Summary

The documents that actually govern a family's daily life in a dependency case are not court orders but plans written by the agency. This rule puts them in the record and in the parties' hands.

Three must be filed and provided to all parties: the out of home case plan, any visitation agreement forming part of the case plan or case permanency plan, and any prevention plan or safety plan developed by the child protective service agency.

Alongside them the state child welfare agency provides the names and addresses of the child's foster parents, pre-adoptive parents or relatives providing care, the court appointed special advocate, and the foster care review board member assigned to the case — filed with the case permanency plan or case progress report on the AOC's prescribed form. That list is what makes the notice duties in FCRPP 16 and FCRPP 20 possible: the clerk can only notify caregivers whose names it has.
