Hearing upon the involuntary removal of a child or expectant mother. Notwithstanding other time periods for hearings under this chapter, if a child is removed from the physical custody of the child's parent or guardian under s.
48.19 (1) (c) or
(cm) or
(d) 5. or
8. without the consent of the parent or guardian or if an adult expectant mother is taken into custody under s.
48.193 (1) (c) or
(d) 2. without the consent of the expectant mother, the court, subject to s.
48.299 (9), shall schedule a plea hearing and fact-finding hearing within 30 days after a request from the parent or guardian from whom custody was removed or from the adult expectant mother who was taken into custody. The plea hearing and fact-finding hearing may be combined. This time period may be extended only with the consent of the requesting parent, guardian, or expectant mother.
48.31
48.31
Fact-finding hearing. 48.31(1)(1)
In this section, “fact-finding hearing" means a hearing to determine if the allegations in a petition under s.
48.13 or
48.133 or a petition to terminate parental rights are proved by clear and convincing evidence. In the case of a petition to terminate parental rights to an Indian child, “fact-finding hearing" means a hearing to determine if the allegations in the petition, other than the allegations under s.
48.42 (1) (e) relating to serious emotional or physical damage, are proved by clear and convincing evidence and if the allegations under s.
48.42 (1) (e) relating to serious emotional or physical damage are proved beyond a reasonable doubt as provided in s.
48.028 (4) (e) 1., unless partial summary judgment on the grounds for termination of parental rights is granted.
48.31(2)
(2) The hearing shall be to the court unless the child, the child's parent, guardian, or legal custodian, the unborn child's guardian ad litem, or the expectant mother of the unborn child exercises the right to a jury trial by demanding a jury trial at any time before or during the plea hearing. If a jury trial is demanded in a proceeding under s.
48.13 or
48.133, the jury shall consist of 6 persons. If a jury trial is demanded in a proceeding under s.
48.42, the jury shall consist of 12 persons unless the parties agree to a lesser number. Chapters
756 and
805 shall govern the selection of jurors. If the hearing involves a child victim or witness, as defined in s.
950.02, the court may order that a deposition be taken by audiovisual means and allow the use of a recorded deposition under s.
967.04 (7) to
(10) and, with the district attorney, shall comply with s.
971.105. At the conclusion of the hearing, the court or jury shall make a determination of the facts, except that in a case alleging a child or an unborn child to be in need of protection or services under s.
48.13 or
48.133, the court shall make the determination under s.
48.13 (intro.) or
48.133 relating to whether the child or unborn child is in need of protection or services that can be ordered by the court. If the court finds that the child or unborn child is not within the jurisdiction of the court or, in a case alleging a child or an unborn child to be in need of protection or services under s.
48.13 or
48.133, that the child or unborn child is not in need of protection or services that can be ordered by the court, or if the court or jury finds that the facts alleged in the petition have not been proved, the court shall dismiss the petition with prejudice.
48.31(4)
(4) The court or jury shall make findings of fact and the court shall make conclusions of law relating to the allegations of a petition filed under s.
48.13,
48.133 or
48.42, except that the court shall make findings of fact relating to whether the child or unborn child is in need of protection or services which can be ordered by the court. In cases alleging a child to be in need of protection or services under s.
48.13 (11), the court may not find that the child is suffering emotional damage unless a licensed physician specializing in psychiatry or a licensed psychologist appointed by the court to examine the child has testified at the hearing that in his or her opinion the condition exists, and adequate opportunity for the cross-examination of the physician or psychologist has been afforded. The judge may use the written reports if the right to have testimony presented is voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently waived by the guardian ad litem or legal counsel for the child and the parent or guardian. In cases alleging a child to be in need of protection or services under s.
48.13 (11m) or an unborn child to be in need of protection or services under s.
48.133, the court may not find that the child or the expectant mother of the unborn child is in need of treatment and education for needs and problems related to the use or abuse of alcohol beverages, controlled substances or controlled substance analogs and its medical, personal, family or social effects unless an assessment for alcohol and other drug abuse that conforms to the criteria specified under s.
48.547 (4) has been conducted by an approved treatment facility.
48.31(5)
(5) If the child is an Indian child, the court or jury shall also determine at the fact-finding hearing whether continued custody of the Indian child by the Indian child's parent or Indian custodian is likely to result in serious emotional or physical damage to the Indian child under s.
48.028 (4) (d) 1. and whether active efforts under s.
48.028 (4) (d) 2. have been made to prevent the breakup of the Indian child's family and whether those efforts have proved unsuccessful, unless partial summary judgment on the allegations under s.
48.13 or
48.133 is granted, in which case the court shall make those determinations at the dispositional hearing.
48.31(7)(a)(a) At the close of the fact-finding hearing, the court, subject to s.
48.299 (9), shall set a date for the dispositional hearing which allows a reasonable time for the parties to prepare but is no more than 10 days after the fact-finding hearing for a child in secure custody and no more than 30 days after the fact-finding hearing for a child or expectant mother who is not held in secure custody. Subject to s.
48.299 (9), if all parties consent, the court may immediately proceed with a dispositional hearing.
48.31(7)(b)
(b) If it appears to the court that disposition of the case may include placement of the child outside the child's home, the court shall order the child's parent to provide a statement of income, assets, debts, and living expenses to the court or the designated agency under s.
48.33 (1) at least 5 days before the scheduled date of the dispositional hearing or as otherwise ordered by the court. The clerk of court shall provide, without charge, to any parent ordered to provide a statement of income, assets, debts, and living expenses a document setting forth the percentage standard established by the department under s.
49.22 (9) and the manner of its application established by the department under s.
49.345 (14) (g) and listing the factors that a court may consider under s.
49.345 (14) (c).
48.31(7)(c)
(c) If the court orders the child's parent to provide a statement of income, assets, debts and living expenses to the court or if the court orders the child's parent to provide that statement to the designated agency under s.
48.33 (1) and that designated agency is not the county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department, the court shall also order the child's parent to provide that statement to the county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department at least 5 days before the scheduled date of the dispositional hearing or as otherwise ordered by the court. The county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department shall provide, without charge, to the parent a form on which to provide that statement, and the parent shall provide that statement on that form. The county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department shall use the information provided in the statement to determine whether the department may claim federal foster care and adoption assistance reimbursement under
42 USC 670 to
679a for the cost of providing care for the child.

Delays, continuances and extensions. 48.315(1)(1)
The following time periods shall be excluded in computing time periods under this chapter:
48.315(1)(a)
(a) Any period of delay resulting from other legal actions concerning the child or the unborn child and the unborn child's expectant mother, including an examination under s.
48.295 or a hearing related to the mental condition of the child, the child's parent, guardian or legal custodian or the expectant mother, prehearing motions, waiver motions and hearings on other matters.
48.315(1)(b)
(b) Any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request of or with the consent of the child and his or her counsel or of the unborn child's guardian ad litem.
48.315(1)(c)
(c) Any period of delay caused by the disqualification of a judge.
48.315(1)(d)
(d) Any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the representative of the public under s.
48.09 if the continuance is granted because of the unavailability of evidence material to the case when he or she has exercised due diligence to obtain the evidence and there are reasonable grounds to believe that the evidence will be available at the later date, or to allow him or her additional time to prepare the case and additional time is justified because of the exceptional circumstances of the case.
48.315(1)(e)
(e) Any period of delay resulting from the imposition of a consent decree.
48.315(1)(f)
(f) Any period of delay resulting from the absence or unavailability of the child or expectant mother.
48.315(1)(fm)
(fm) Any period of delay resulting from the inability of the court to provide the child with notice of an extension hearing under s.
48.365 due to the child having run away or otherwise having made himself or herself unavailable to receive that notice.
48.315(1)(g)
(g) A reasonable period of delay when the child is joined in a hearing with another child as to whom the time for a hearing has not expired under this section if there is good cause for not hearing the cases separately.
48.315(1)(h)
(h) Any period of delay resulting from the need to appoint a qualified interpreter.
48.315(1)(j)
(j) A reasonable period of delay, not to exceed 20 days, in a proceeding involving the out-of-home care placement of or termination of parental rights to a child whom the court knows or has reason to know is an Indian child, resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the child's parent, Indian custodian, or tribe to enable the requester to prepare for the proceeding.
48.315(2)
(2) A continuance shall be granted by the court only upon a showing of good cause in open court or during a telephone conference under s.
807.13 on the record and only for so long as is necessary, taking into account the request or consent of the district attorney or the parties and the interest of the public in the prompt disposition of cases.
48.315(2m)
(2m) No continuance or extension of a time period specified in this chapter may be granted and no period of delay specified in sub.
(1) may be excluded in computing a time period under this chapter if the continuance, extension, or exclusion would result in any of the following:
48.315(2m)(b)
(b) The court making an initial finding under s.
48.38 (5m) that the agency primarily responsible for providing services to the child has made reasonable efforts to achieve the permanency goal of the child's permanency plan more than 12 months after the date on which the child was removed from the home or making any subsequent findings under s.
48.38 (5m) as to those reasonable efforts more than 12 months after the date of a previous finding as to those reasonable efforts.
48.315(2m)(c)
(c) The court making a finding under s.
48.366 (3) (am) 3. that a person's placement in out-of-home care under a transition-to-independent-living agreement is in the best interests of the person more than 180 days after the date on which the agreement is entered into.
48.315(3)
(3) Failure by the court or a party to act within any time period specified in this chapter does not deprive the court of personal or subject matter jurisdiction or of competency to exercise that jurisdiction. Failure to object to a period of delay or a continuance waives any challenge to the court's competency to act during the period of delay or continuance. If the court or a party does not act within a time period specified in this chapter, the court, while assuring the safety of the child, may grant a continuance under sub.
(2), dismiss the proceeding without prejudice, release the child from secure or nonsecure custody or from the terms of a custody order, or grant any other relief that the court considers appropriate.

Consent decree. 48.32(1)(a)
(a) At any time after the filing of a petition for a proceeding relating to s.
48.13 or
48.133 and before the entry of judgment, the judge or a circuit court commissioner may suspend the proceedings and place the child or expectant mother under supervision in the home or present placement of the child or expectant mother. The court may establish terms and conditions applicable to the child and the child's parent, guardian, or legal custodian, to the child expectant mother and her parent, guardian or legal custodian, or to the adult expectant mother, including the condition specified in sub.
(1b). The order under this section shall be known as a consent decree and must be agreed to by the child if 12 years of age or older, the parent, guardian, or legal custodian, and the person filing the petition under s.
48.25; by the child expectant mother, her parent, guardian, or legal custodian, the unborn child's guardian ad litem, and the person filing the petition under s.
48.25; or by the adult expectant mother, the unborn child's guardian ad litem, and the person filing the petition under s.
48.25. The consent decree shall be reduced to writing and given to the parties.
48.32(1)(am)
(am) Using the procedures specified in par.
(a) for the entry of an original consent decree, the parties to a consent decree may agree to, and the judge or circuit court commissioner may enter, an amended consent decree. An amended consent decree may change the placement of the child or expectant mother who is the subject of the original consent decree or revise any other term or condition of the original consent decree. An amended consent decree that changes the placement of a child from a placement in the child's home to a placement outside the child's home shall include the findings, orders, and determinations specified in par.
(b), as applicable. An amended consent decree that changes the placement of an Indian child from a placement in the Indian child's home to a placement outside the Indian child's home shall include the findings specified in par.
(d). An amended consent decree may not extend the expiration date of the original consent decree.
48.32(1)(b)1.1. If at the time the consent decree is entered into the child is placed outside the home under a voluntary agreement under s.
48.63 or is otherwise living outside the home without a court order and if the consent decree maintains the child in that placement or other living arrangement, or if an amended consent decree changes the placement of the child from a placement in the child's home to a placement outside the child's home, the consent decree shall include all of the following:
48.32(1)(b)1.a.
a. A finding that placement of the child in his or her home would be contrary to the welfare of the child.
48.32(1)(b)1.b.
b. A finding as to whether the county department, the department, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, or the agency primarily responsible for providing services to the child has made reasonable efforts to prevent the removal of the child from the home, while assuring that the child's health and safety are the paramount concerns, unless the judge or circuit court commissioner finds that any of the circumstances specified in s.
48.355 (2d) (b) 1. to
5. applies.
48.32(1)(b)1.c.
c. If a permanency plan has previously been prepared for the child, a finding as to whether the county department, department, or agency has made reasonable efforts to achieve the permanency goal of the child's permanency plan, including, if appropriate, through an out-of-state placement.
48.32(1)(b)1.d.
d. If the child's placement or other living arrangement is under the supervision of the county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department, an order ordering the child into the placement and care responsibility of the county department or department as required under
42 USC 672 (a) (2) and assigning the county department or department primary responsibility for providing services to the child.
48.32(1)(b)1m.
1m. If the child has one or more siblings, as defined in s.
48.38 (4) (br) 1., who have also been removed from the home, the consent decree shall include a finding as to whether the county department, department in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, or agency primarily responsible for providing services to the child has made reasonable efforts to place the child in a placement that enables the sibling group to remain together, unless the judge or circuit court commissioner determines that a joint placement would be contrary to the safety or well-being of the child or any of those siblings, in which case the judge or circuit court commissioner shall order the county department, department, or agency to make reasonable efforts to provide for frequent visitation or other ongoing interaction between the child and the siblings, unless the judge or circuit court commissioner determines that such visitation or interaction would be contrary to the safety or well-being of the child or any of those siblings.
48.32(1)(b)2.
2. If the judge or circuit court commissioner finds that any of the circumstances specified in s.
48.355 (2d) (b) 1. to
5. applies with respect to a parent, the consent decree shall include a determination that the county department, department, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, or agency primarily responsible for providing services under the consent decree is not required to make reasonable efforts with respect to the parent to make it possible for the child to return safely to his or her home.
48.32(1)(b)3.
3. The judge or circuit court commissioner shall make the findings specified in subds.
1. and
2. on a case-by-case basis based on circumstances specific to the child and shall document or reference the specific information on which those findings are based in the consent decree. A consent decree that merely references subd.
1. or
2. without documenting or referencing that specific information in the consent decree or an amended consent decree that retroactively corrects an earlier consent decree that does not comply with this subdivision is not sufficient to comply with this subdivision.
48.32(1)(c)
(c) If the judge or circuit court commissioner finds that any of the circumstances specified in s.
48.355 (2d) (b) 1. to
5. applies with respect to a parent, the judge or circuit court commissioner shall hold a hearing under s.
48.38 (4m) within 30 days after the date of that finding to determine the permanency goal and, if applicable, any concurrent permanency goals for the child.
48.32(1)(d)1.1. In the case of an Indian child, if at the time the consent decree is entered into the Indian child is placed outside the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian under a voluntary agreement under s.
48.63 or is otherwise living outside that home without a court order and if the consent decree maintains the Indian child in that placement or other living arrangement, or if an amended consent decree changes the placement of the Indian child from a placement in the Indian child's home to a placement outside the Indian child's home, the consent decree shall include a finding supported by clear and convincing evidence, including the testimony of one or more qualified expert witnesses, that continued custody of the Indian child by the parent or Indian custodian is likely to result in serious emotional or physical damage to the child under s.
48.028 (4) (d) 1. and a finding that active efforts under s.
48.028 (4) (d) 2. have been made to prevent the breakup of the Indian child's family and that those efforts have proved unsuccessful. The findings under this subdivision shall be in addition to the findings under par.
(b) 1., except that for the sole purpose of determining whether the cost of providing care for an Indian child is eligible for reimbursement under
42 USC 670 to
679b, the findings under this subdivision and the findings under par.
(b) 1. shall be considered to be the same findings.
48.32(1)(d)2.
2. If the placement or other living arrangement under subd.
1. departs from the order of placement preference under s.
48.028 (7) (b) or, if applicable, s.
48.028 (7) (c), the court shall also find good cause, as described in s.
48.028 (7) (e), for departing from that order.
48.32(1b)
(1b) The judge or a circuit court commissioner may, as a condition under sub.
(1), request a court-appointed special advocate program to designate a court-appointed special advocate for the child to perform the activities specified in s.
48.236 (3) that are authorized in the memorandum of understanding under s.
48.07 (5) (a). A court-appointed special advocate designated under this subsection shall have the authority specified in s.
48.236 (4) that is authorized in the memorandum of understanding under s.
48.07 (5) (a).
48.32(2)(a)(a) A consent decree shall remain in effect up to 6 months unless the child, parent, guardian, legal custodian or expectant mother is discharged sooner by the judge or circuit court commissioner.
48.32(2)(c)
(c) Upon the motion of the court or the application of the child, parent, guardian, legal custodian, expectant mother, unborn child's guardian ad litem, intake worker, or any agency supervising the child or expectant mother under the consent decree, the court may, after giving notice to the parties to the consent decree, their counsel or guardian ad litem, and the court-appointed special advocate for the child, if any, extend the decree for up to an additional 6 months in the absence of objection to extension by the parties to the initial consent decree. If the child, parent, guardian, legal custodian, expectant mother, or unborn child's guardian ad litem objects to the extension, the judge shall schedule a hearing and make a determination on the issue of extension. An extension under this paragraph of a consent decree relating to an unborn child who is alleged to be in need of protection or services may be granted after the child is born.
48.32(3)

48.32 Annotation
A finding that a consent decree has been violated must be made before the consent decree expires. Filing a motion to vacate the consent decree prior to its expiration does not extend the term of the decree and does not prevent the automatic dismissal of the original petition upon the expiration of the decree.
