938.357(5)(e)
(e) If the hearing examiner finds that the juvenile has violated a condition of aftercare supervision, the hearing examiner shall determine whether confinement in a juvenile correctional facility or a secured residential care center for children and youth is necessary to protect the public, to provide for the juvenile's rehabilitation, or to not depreciate the seriousness of the violation.

The county 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 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 juvenile.
938.357(6)
(6) Duration of order. No change in placement may extend the expiration date of the original order, except that if the change in placement is from a placement in the juvenile's home to a placement in a foster home, treatment foster home, group home, or residential care center for children and youth or in the home of a relative who is not a parent, the court may extend the expiration date of the original order to the date on which the juvenile attains 18 years of age, to the date that is one year after the date of the change in placement order, or, if the juvenile is a full-time student at a secondary school or its vocational or technical equivalent and is reasonably expected to complete the program before attaining 19 years of age, to the date on which the juvenile attains 19 years of age, whichever is later, or for a shorter period of time as specified by the court. If the change in placement is from a placement in a foster home, treatment foster home, group home, or residential care center for children and youth or in the home of a relative to a placement in the juvenile's home and if the expiration date of the original order is more than one year after the date of the change in placement order, the court shall shorten the expiration date of the original order to the date that is one year after the date of the change in placement order or to an earlier date as specified by the court.

938.357 Annotation
Section 938.355 provides a variety of sanctions for juveniles who have violated their dispositional orders. Section 938.357 enumerates the ways in which a juvenile's placement may be changed. Nothing in either statute indicates that it is to be the exclusive mechanism for violation of a disposition order. Section 938.34 (16) specifically allows an alternative procedure for dealing with violations of a disposition order when part of the disposition is imposed and stayed. State v. Richard J. D. 2006 WI App 242,
297 Wis. 2d 20,
724 N.W.2d 665,
06-0555.

938.36
Payment for services. 938.36(1)
(1)
Residential services; parental duty to support. 938.36(1)(a)(a) If legal custody is transferred from the parent or guardian or the court otherwise designates an alternative placement for the juvenile by a disposition made under
s. 938.183,
938.34 or
938.345 or by a change in placement under
s. 938.357, the duty of the parent or guardian to provide support shall continue even though the legal custodian or the placement designee may provide the support. A copy of the order transferring custody or designating alternative placement for the juvenile shall be submitted to the agency or person receiving custody or placement and the agency or person may apply to the court for an order to compel the parent or guardian to provide the support. Support payments for residential services, when purchased or otherwise funded or provided by the department of corrections, or a county department under
s. 46.215,
46.22 or
46.23, shall be determined under
s. 301.12 (14). Support payments for residential services, when purchased or otherwise funded by the department of health services, or a county department under
s. 51.42 or
51.437, shall be determined under
s. 46.10 (14).
938.36(1)(b)
(b) In determining the amount of support under
par. (a), the court may consider all relevant financial information or other information relevant to the parent's earning capacity, including information reported under
s. 49.22 (2m) to the department of children and families, or the county child support agency, under
s. 59.53 (5). If the court has insufficient information with which to determine the amount of support, the court shall order the juvenile's parent to furnish a statement of the income, assets, debts, and living expenses of the juvenile and the juvenile's parent, if the parent has not already done so, to the court within 10 days after the court's order transferring custody or designating an alternative placement is entered or at such other time as ordered by the court.
938.36(2)
(2) Services or treatment; county payment; parental contribution. If a juvenile whose legal custody has not been taken from a parent or guardian is given educational and social services, or medical, psychological, or psychiatric treatment by order of the court, the court may order the county to pay for those services or treatment. This section does not prevent recovery of reasonable contribution toward the costs from the parent or guardian of the juvenile as the court may order based on the ability of the parent or guardian to pay. This subsection is subject to
s. 301.03 (18).
938.36(3)
(3) Services provided by school district. In determining county liability, this section does not apply to services specified in
ch. 115.

s. 938.36 (3) the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and
ch. 48 or municipal court may order the parent to pay for the alcohol and drug abuse services. If the parent consents to provide alcohol and other drug abuse services for a juvenile through his or her health insurance or other 3rd-party payments but the health insurance provider or other 3rd-party payer refuses to provide the alcohol and other drug abuse services the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and
ch. 48 or municipal court may order the health insurance provider or 3rd-party payer to pay for the alcohol and other drug abuse services in accordance with the terms of the parent's health insurance policy or other 3rd-party payment plan.
938.361(2)(a)2.
2. This paragraph applies to payment for alcohol and other drug abuse services in any county, including pilot counties under
s. 938.547.
938.361(2)(am)1.1. If a court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and
ch. 48 in a pilot county under
s. 938.547 finds that payment cannot be attained under
par. (a), the court may order payment under
par. (b).
938.361(2)(am)2.
2. If a court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and
ch. 48 in a county that is not a pilot county under
s. 938.547 finds that payment cannot be attained under
par. (a), the court may order payment under
s. 938.34 (6) (ar) or

938.361(2)(b)1.1. In pilot counties under
s. 938.547, in addition to ordering payment under
par. (a), the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and
ch. 48 may order a county department of human services established under
s. 46.23 or a county department established under
s. 51.42 or
51.437 in the juvenile's county of legal residence to pay for the alcohol and other drug abuse services whether or not custody has been taken from the parent.
938.361(2)(b)2.
2. If a court orders a county department established under
s. 51.42 or
51.437 to provide alcohol and other drug abuse services under this paragraph, the provision of the service is subject to conditions specified in
ch. 51.
938.361(2)(c)
(c) Payment for alcohol and other drug abuse services by a county department or municipality under this section does not prohibit the county department or municipality from contracting with another county department, municipality, school district, or approved treatment facility for the provision of alcohol and other drug abuse services. Payment by the county or municipality under this section does not prevent recovery of reasonable contribution toward the costs of the court-ordered alcohol and other drug abuse services from the parent based upon the ability of the parent to pay. This subsection is subject to
s. 46.03 (18).
