Indiana Court of Appeals
T.W. (Minor Child) v. Indiana Department of Child Services
24A-JC-780
Juvenile CHINS. Affirms the Delaware Circuit Court’s termination of the Indiana Department of Child Services’ wardship of T.W. and the court’s closure of T.W.’s CHINS case. Finds the court’s closure of the CHINS case is a proper dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Also finds the court has statutory authority to reinstate its jurisdiction after the child’s release from the Indiana Department of Correction.
