48.355(2)(b)6r.
6r. If the court finds that any of the circumstances specified in
sub. (2d) (b) 1. to
5. applies with respect to a parent, a determination that the county department, department, in a county having a population of 500,000 or more, or agency primarily responsible for providing services under the court order 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.
48.355(2)(b)6v.
6v. If the child is an Indian child who is being removed from the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian and placed outside that home, 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
subd. 6., 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
subd. 6. shall be considered to be the same findings. The findings under this subdivision are not required if they were made in a previous order in the proceeding unless a change in circumstances warrants new findings.
48.355(2)(b)7.
7. A statement of the conditions with which the child or expectant mother is required to comply.
48.355(2)(c)
(c) If school attendance is a condition of an order under
par. (b) 7., the order shall specify what constitutes a violation of the condition and shall direct the school board of the school district, or the governing body of the private school, in which the child is enrolled, or shall request the governing body of the tribal school in which the child is enrolled, to notify the county department that is responsible for supervising the child or, in a county having a population of 500,000 or more, the department within 5 days after any violation of the condition by the child.
48.355(2)(cm)1.1. Subject to
subd. 2., the court shall order the county department, the department in a county having a population of 500,000 or more, or the agency primarily responsible for providing services to the child under the dispositional order to conduct a diligent search in order to locate and provide notice of the information specified in
s. 48.21 (5) (e) 2. a. to
e. to all relatives of the child named under
s. 48.335 (6) and to all adult relatives, as defined in
s. 48.21 (5) (e) 1., of the child within 30 days after the child is removed from the custody of the child's parent unless the child is returned to his or her home within that period. The court may also order the county department, department, or agency to conduct a diligent search in order to locate and provide notice of that information to all other adult individuals named under
s. 48.335 (6) within 30 days after the child is removed from the custody of the child's parent unless the child is returned to his or her home within that period. The county department, department, or agency may not provide that notice to a person named under
s. 48.335 (6) or to an adult relative if the county department, department, or agency has reason to believe that it would be dangerous to the child or to the parent if the child were placed with that person or adult relative.
48.355(2)(cm)2.
2. Subdivision 1. does not apply if the search required under
subd. 1. was previously conducted and the notice required under
subd. 1. was previously provided under
s. 48.21 (5) (e) 2.
48.355(2)(d)
(d) The court shall provide a copy of a dispositional order relating to a child in need of protection or services to the child's parent, guardian, legal custodian, or trustee, to the child through the child's counsel or guardian ad litem, to the child's court-appointed special advocate, and, if the child is an Indian child who has been removed from the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian and placed outside that home, to the Indian child's Indian custodian and tribe. The court shall provide a copy of a dispositional order relating to an unborn child in need of protection or services to the expectant mother, to the unborn child through the unborn child's guardian ad litem, to the parent, guardian, legal custodian, or trustee of a child expectant mother and, if the expectant mother is an Indian child, to the expectant mother's Indian custodian and tribe.
48.355(2b)(a)(a) In this subsection, "concurrent planning" means appropriate efforts to work simultaneously towards achieving more than one of the permanency goals listed in
s. 48.38 (4) (fg) 1. to
5. for a child who is placed in out-of-home care and for whom a permanency plan is required under
s. 48.38 (2).
48.355(2b)(b)
(b) A county department, the department, in a county having a population of 500,000 or more, or the agency primarily responsible for providing services to a child under a court order shall determine, in accordance with standards established by the department, whether to engage in concurrent planning. If, according to those standards, concurrent planning is required, the county department, department, or agency shall engage in concurrent planning unless the court or permanency review panel determines under
s. 48.38 (5) (c) 5m. that concurrent planning is inappropriate.
48.355(2c)(a)(a) When a court makes a finding under
sub. (2) (b) 6. as to whether the county department, the department, in a county having a population of 500,000 or more, or the agency primarily responsible for providing services to the child under a court order has made reasonable efforts to prevent the removal of the child from his or her home, while assuring that the child's health and safety are the paramount concerns, the court's consideration of reasonable efforts shall include, but not be limited to, whether:
48.355(2c)(a)1.
1. A comprehensive assessment of the family's situation was completed, including a determination of the likelihood of protecting the child's health, safety and welfare effectively in the home.
48.355(2c)(a)2.
2. Financial assistance, if applicable, was provided to the family.
48.355(2c)(a)3.
3. Services were offered or provided to the family, if applicable, and whether any assistance was provided to the family to enable the family to utilize the services. Examples of the types of services that may have been offered include:
48.355(2c)(a)3.c.
c. Community support services, such as child care, parent skills training, housing assistance, employment training, and emergency mental health services.
48.355(2c)(a)4.
4. Monitoring of client progress and client participation in services was provided.
48.355(2c)(a)5.
5. A consideration of alternative ways of addressing the family's needs was provided, if services did not exist or existing services were not available to the family.
48.355(2c)(b)
(b) When a court makes a finding under
sub. (2) (b) 6. as to whether the county department, department, in a county having a population of 500,000 or more, or agency primarily responsible for providing services to the child under a court order has made reasonable efforts to achieve the permanency goal of the permanency plan, the court's consideration of reasonable efforts shall include the considerations listed under
par. (a) 1. to
5. and whether visitation schedules between the child and his or her parents were implemented, unless visitation was denied or limited by the court.
48.355(2d)(a)1.
1. "Aggravated circumstances" include abandonment in violation of
s. 948.20 or in violation of the law of any other state or federal law if that violation would be a violation of
s. 948.20 if committed in this state, torture, chronic abuse and sexual abuse.
48.355(2d)(a)2.c.
c. A violation of the law of any other state or federal law if that violation would be a violation listed under
subd. 2. a. or
b. if committed in this state.
48.355(2d)(b)
(b) Notwithstanding
sub. (2) (b) 6., the court is not required to include in a dispositional order a finding as to whether the county department, the department, in a county having a population of 500,000 or more, or the agency primarily responsible for providing services under a court order has made reasonable efforts with respect to a parent of a child to prevent the removal of the child from the home, while assuring that the child's health and safety are the paramount concerns, or a finding as to whether the county department, department, or agency has made reasonable efforts with respect to a parent of a child to achieve the permanency goal of returning the child safely to his or her home, if the court finds any of the following:
48.355(2d)(b)1.
1. That the parent has subjected the child to aggravated circumstances, as evidenced by a final judgment of conviction.
48.355(2d)(b)2.
2. That the parent has committed, has aided or abetted the commission of, or has solicited, conspired, or attempted to commit, a violation of
s. 940.01,
940.02,
940.03, or
940.05 or a violation of the law of any other state or federal law, if that violation would be a violation of
s. 940.01,
940.02,
940.03, or
940.05 if committed in this state, as evidenced by a final judgment of conviction, and that the victim of that violation is a child of the parent.
48.355(2d)(b)3.
3. That the parent has committed a violation of s.
940.19 (3), 1999 stats., a violation of
s. 940.19 (2),
(4), or
(5),
940.225 (1) or
(2),
948.02 (1) or
(2),
948.025,
948.03 (2) (a) or
(3) (a), or
948.085 or a violation of the law of any other state or federal law, if that violation would be a violation of
s. 940.19 (2),
(4), or
(5),
940.225 (1) or
(2),
948.02 (1) or
(2),
948.025,
948.03 (2) (a) or
(3) (a), or
948.085 if committed in this state, as evidenced by a final judgment of conviction, and that the violation resulted in great bodily harm, as defined in
s. 939.22 (14), or in substantial bodily harm, as defined in
s. 939.22 (38), to the child or another child of the parent.
48.355(2d)(b)4.
4. That the parental rights of the parent to another child have been involuntarily terminated, as evidenced by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction terminating those parental rights.
48.355(2d)(b)5.
5. That the parent has been found under
s. 48.13 (2m) to have relinquished custody of the child under
s. 48.195 (1) when the child was 72 hours old or younger, as evidenced by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction making that finding.
48.355(2d)(bm)
(bm) The court shall make a finding specified in
par. (b) 1. to
5. on a case-by-case basis based on circumstances specific to the child and shall document or reference the specific information on which that finding is based in the dispositional order. A dispositional order that merely references
par. (b) 1. to
5. without documenting or referencing that specific information in the dispositional order or an amended dispositional order that retroactively corrects an earlier dispositional order that does not comply with this paragraph is not sufficient to comply with this paragraph.
48.355(2d)(c)
(c) If the court finds that any of the circumstances specified in
par. (b) 1. to
5. applies with respect to a parent, the court 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.
48.355(2d)(d)
(d) This subsection does not affect the requirement under
sub. (2) (b) 6v. that the court include in a dispositional order removing an Indian child from the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian and placing the child outside that home 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.
48.355(2e)
(2e) Permanency plans; filing; amended orders; copies. 48.355(2e)(a)(a) If a permanency plan has not been prepared at the time the dispositional order is entered, or if the court orders a disposition that is not consistent with the permanency plan, the agency responsible for preparing the plan shall prepare a permanency plan that is consistent with the order or revise the permanency plan to conform to the order and shall file the plan with the court within the time specified in
s. 48.38 (3). A permanency plan filed under this paragraph shall be made a part of the dispositional order.
48.355(2e)(b)
(b) Each time a child's placement is changed under
s. 48.357, a trial reunification is ordered under
s. 48.358, or a dispositional order is revised under
s. 48.363 or extended under
s. 48.365, the agency that prepared the permanency plan shall revise the plan to conform to the order and shall file a copy of the revised plan with the court. Each plan filed under this paragraph shall be made a part of the court order.
48.355(2e)(c)
(c) Either the court or the agency that prepared the permanency plan shall furnish a copy of the original plan and each revised plan to the child's parent or guardian, to the child or the child's counsel or guardian ad litem, to the child's court-appointed special advocate and to the person representing the interests of the public.
48.355(2m)
(2m) Transitional placements. The court order may include the name of transitional placements, but may not designate a specific time when transitions are to take place. The procedures of
ss. 48.357 and
48.363 shall govern when such transitions take place. However, the court may place specific time limitations on interim arrangements made for the care of the child or for the treatment of the expectant mother pending the availability of the dispositional placement.
48.355(3)(a)(a) Except as provided in
par. (b), if, after a hearing on the issue with due notice to the parent or guardian, the court finds that it would be in the best interest of the child, the court may set reasonable rules of parental visitation.
48.355(3)(b)1.1. Except as provided in
subd. 2., the court may not grant visitation under
par. (a) to a parent of a child if the parent has been convicted under
s. 940.01 of the first-degree intentional homicide, or under
s. 940.05 of the 2nd-degree intentional homicide, of the child's other parent, and the conviction has not been reversed, set aside or vacated.
48.355(3)(b)1m.
1m. Except as provided in
subd. 2., if a parent who is granted visitation rights with a child under
par. (a) is convicted under
s. 940.01 of the first-degree intentional homicide, or under
s. 940.05 of the 2nd-degree intentional homicide, of the child's other parent, and the conviction has not been reversed, set aside or vacated, the court shall issue an order prohibiting the parent from having visitation with the child on petition of the child, the guardian or legal custodian of the child, a person or agency bound by the dispositional order or the district attorney or corporation counsel of the county in which the dispositional order was entered, or on the court's own motion, and on notice to the parent.
48.355(3)(b)2.
2. Subdivisions 1. and
1m. do not apply if the court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the visitation would be in the best interests of the child. The court shall consider the wishes of the child in making that determination.
48.355(4)
(4) Termination of orders. Except as provided under
s. 48.368, an order under this section or
s. 48.357 or
48.365 made before the child reaches 18 years of age that places or continues the placement of the child in his or her home shall terminate at the end of one year after its entry unless the judge specifies a shorter period of time or the judge terminates the order sooner. Except as provided under
s. 48.368, an order under this section or
s. 48.357 or
48.365 made before the child reaches 18 years of age that places or continues the placement of the child in a foster home, group home, or residential care center for children and youth or in the home of a relative other than a parent shall terminate when the child reaches 18 years of age, at the end of one year after its entry, or, if the child is a full-time student at a secondary school or its vocational or technical equivalent and is reasonably expected to complete the program before reaching 19 years of age, when the child reaches 19 years of age, whichever is later, unless the judge specifies a shorter period of time or the judge terminates the order sooner. An order under this section or
s. 48.357 or
48.365 relating to an unborn child in need of protection or services that is made before the unborn child is born shall terminate at the end of one year after its entry unless the judge specifies a shorter period of time or the judge terminates the order sooner.
48.355(5)
(5) Effect of court order. Any party, person or agency who provides services for the child or the expectant mother under this section shall be bound by the court order.
48.355(7)
(7) Orders applicable to parents, guardians, legal custodians, expectant mothers and other adults. In addition to any dispositional order entered under
s. 48.345 or
48.347, the court may enter an order applicable to the parent, guardian or legal custodian of a child, to a family member of an adult expectant mother or to another adult as provided under
s. 48.45.

A circuit court may order parents to pay toward a child's support when a CHIPS child is placed in residential treatment, but the court may not assess any of the facility's education-related costs against the parents. Calumet County Department of Human Services v. Randall H.

Sub. (2) (b) 1. does not require a CHIPS dispositional order to separately list each individual service that the department is to provide so long as the department is ordered to provide "supervision," "services," and "case management" and the order also provides detailed conditions that the parents must complete in compliance with the dispositional order.

48.356
Duty of court to warn. 48.356(1)
(1) Whenever the court orders a child to be placed outside his or her home, orders an expectant mother of an unborn child to be placed outside of her home, or denies a parent visitation because the child or unborn child has been adjudged to be in need of protection or services under
s. 48.345,
48.347,
48.357,
48.363, or
48.365 and whenever the court reviews a permanency plan under
s. 48.38 (5m), the court shall orally inform the parent or parents who appear in court or the expectant mother who appears in court of any grounds for termination of parental rights under
s. 48.415 which may be applicable and of the conditions necessary for the child or expectant mother to be returned to the home or for the parent to be granted visitation.
48.356(2)
(2) In addition to the notice required under
sub. (1), any written order which places a child or an expectant mother outside the home or denies visitation under
sub. (1) shall notify the parent or parents or expectant mother of the information specified under
sub. (1).
48.356 Annotation
Substantial compliance is not adequate to meet the sub. (2) notice provision; oral, rather than written, notice is insufficient. In re D.F.
147 Wis. 2d 486,
433 N.W.2d 609 (Ct. App. 1988).
48.356 Annotation
Dismissal of termination proceedings because only 2 of 6 dispositional orders contained statutory warnings was inappropriate. The warning is only required on one order. In Interest of K.K.
162 Wis. 2d 431,
469 N.W.2d 881 (Ct. App. 1991).
48.356 Annotation
To comply with sub. (2), the written order must contain the same information as the oral notice under sub. (1); that the notice contained more does not mean sub. (2) was violated. In Interest of Jamie L.
172 Wis. 2d 218,
493 N.W.2d 56 (1992).
48.356 Annotation
When termination is under s. 48.415 (8) for murdering the other parent, no notice under sub. (1) of the conditions necessary for the return of the child is necessary as the grounds for termination, the murder, cannot be remedied. Winnebago County DSS v. Darrell A.
194 Wis. 2d 628,
534 N.W.2d 907 (Ct. App. 1995).
48.356 Annotation
It was a denial of due process to terminate parental rights on grounds substantially different from those that the parent was warned of under s. 48.356. State v. Patricia A.P.
195 Wis. 2d 855,
537 N.W.2d 47 (Ct. App. 1995),
95-1164.
48.356 Annotation
The written warning under sub. (2) applies only to orders removing children from placement with their parents or denying parental visitation. Temporary physical custody orders or extensions of those orders may not lead to a loss of parental rights and do not require the written warning. Marinette County v. Tammy C.
219 Wis. 2d 206,
579 N.W.2d 635 (1998),
97-2946.
48.356 Annotation
The last order placing the child outside the home issued before the filing of the petition to terminate parental rights, rather than each order, must contain the written notice prescribed by s. 48.356 (2). Waukesha County v. Steven H.
2000 WI 28,
233 Wis. 2d 344,
607 N.W.2d 607,

48.357
48.357
Change in placement. 48.357(1)(a)(a) The person or agency primarily responsible for implementing the dispositional order, the district attorney, or the corporation counsel may request a change in the placement of the child or expectant mother, whether or not the change requested is authorized in the dispositional order, as provided in
par. (am) or
(c), whichever is applicable.
48.357(1)(am)1.1. If the proposed change in placement involves any change in placement other than a change in placement specified in
par. (c), the person or agency primarily responsible for implementing the dispositional order, the district attorney, or the corporation counsel shall cause written notice of the proposed change in placement to be sent to the child, the parent, guardian, and legal custodian of the child, any foster parent or other physical custodian described in
s. 48.62 (2) of the child, the child's court-appointed special advocate, and, if the child is an Indian child who has been removed from the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian, the Indian child's Indian custodian and tribe. If the child is the expectant mother of an unborn child under
s. 48.133, written notice shall also be sent to the unborn child by the unborn child's guardian ad litem. If the change in placement involves an adult expectant mother of an unborn child under
s. 48.133, written notice shall be sent to the adult expectant mother and the unborn child by the unborn child's guardian ad litem. The notice shall contain the name and address of the new placement, the reasons for the change in placement, a statement describing why the new placement is preferable to the present placement, and a statement of how the new placement satisfies objectives of the treatment plan ordered by the court.
48.357(1)(am)1g.
1g. If the child is an Indian child who has been removed from the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian and if the proposed change in placement would change the Indian child's placement from a placement outside that home to another placement outside that home, a notice under
subd. 1. shall also contain a statement as to whether the new placement is in compliance with the order of placement preference under
s. 48.028 (7) (b) or, if applicable,
s. 48.028 (7) (c) and, if the new placement is not in compliance with that order, specific information showing good cause, as described in
s. 48.028 (7) (e), for departing from that order.
48.357(1)(am)2.
2. Any person receiving the notice under
subd. 1. or notice of a specific placement under
s. 48.355 (2) (b) 2., other than a court-appointed special advocate, may obtain a hearing on the matter by filing an objection with the court within 10 days after receipt of the notice. Except as provided in
subd. 2m., placements may not be changed until 10 days after that notice is sent to the court unless written waivers of objection are signed as follows:
48.357(1)(am)2.a.
a. By the parent, guardian, legal custodian, or Indian custodian, the child, if 12 years of age or over, and the child's tribe, if the child is an Indian child who has been removed from the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian.
48.357(1)(am)2.b.
b. By the child expectant mother, if 12 years of age or over, her parent, guardian, legal custodian, or Indian custodian, the unborn child by the unborn child's guardian ad litem, and the child expectant mother's tribe, if she is an Indian child who has been removed from the home of her parent or Indian custodian.
48.357(1)(am)2.c.
c. By the adult expectant mother and the unborn child by the unborn child's guardian ad litem.
48.357(1)(am)2m.
2m. Changes in placement that were authorized in the dispositional order may be made immediately if notice is given as required under
subd. 1. In addition, a hearing is not required for placement changes authorized in the dispositional order except when an objection filed by a person who received notice alleges that new information is available that affects the advisability of the court's dispositional order.
48.357(1)(am)3.
3. If the court changes the child's placement from a placement outside the home to another placement outside the home, the change in placement order shall contain the applicable order under
sub. (2v) (a) 1m. and the applicable statement under
sub. (2v) (a) 2.
