Child in Need of Care Forms

The following Child in Need of Care forms were prepared by former judge Kathryn Carter of Jamestown and reviewed by the Judicial Council Juvenile Offender/Child in Need of Care Advisory Committee. These forms which are dated August 1, 2007, are the final version.

The Committee is aware that, despite its best efforts, no set of forms is perfect for every situation and wishes to emphasize that forms are not a substitute for thinking by court and counsel. It is always necessary to consider the law, the evidence and the issues in each case, and adjust the forms accordingly.

Note: To view and print some of these documents you need special software, available for free at www.adobe.com.
