Emergency hearings

Official statutory text

A. Once a child is the subject of a deprived child proceeding,

any party may file a verified application for an emergency hearing

that demonstrates harm or threatened harm to the health, safety or

welfare of that child. Upon receipt of the application for

emergency hearing, the court shall have seventy-two (72) hours to

conduct a hearing. If the court fails to conduct a hearing within

that time, the movant may present the application for emergency

hearing to the presiding judge or the presiding juvenile judge of

the judicial district who shall conduct an emergency hearing within

twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of the application.

B. Nothing in this section shall prohibit a court from issuing

an emergency order sua sponte to protect the health, safety and

welfare of a child subject to a deprived child proceeding in

juvenile court pending hearing on the application.

C. If the court finds that any relevant information provided to

the court upon which the court relied to make its emergency order

decision to be false, the court shall assess against the movant all

costs, attorney fees and other expenses incurred as a result of the

emergency hearing. The movant shall pay all such costs, fees and

expenses within thirty (30) days. Failure to make this payment

shall be grounds for contempt, punishable by six (6) months in the

county jail, a fine not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00),
