Any such order requiring payment for repairs or restitution shall include a finding that the juvenile alone is financially able to pay and may allow up to the date of the expiration of the order for the payment.

The disposition shall employ those means necessary to promote the objectives specified in s. 938.01. If the judge has determined that any of the conditions specified in s. 938.34 (4m) (b) 1., 2. or 3. applies, that determination shall be prima facie evidence that a less restrictive alternative than placement in a secured correctional facility or a secured child caring institution is not appropriate.

If the juvenile is placed outside the home, the name of the place or facility, including transitional placements, where the juvenile shall be cared for or treated, except that if the placement is a foster home or treatment foster home and the name and address of the foster parent or treatment foster parent is not available at the time of the order, the name and address of the foster parent or treatment foster parent shall be furnished to the court and the parent within 21 days of the order. If, after a hearing on the issue with due notice to the parent or guardian, the court finds that disclosure of the identity of the foster parent or treatment foster parent would result in imminent danger to the juvenile, the foster parent or the treatment foster parent, the court may order the name and address of the prospective foster parents or treatment foster parents withheld from the parent or guardian.

AB130,307,14 3. The date of the expiration of the court's order.
