25A-JC-10
Juvenile CHINS. Reverses the Ripley Circuit Court’s order granting a motion for the Indiana Department of Child Services order that it no longer had to use reasonable efforts to reunify child with parents pursuant to Indiana Code section 31-34-21-5.6(b)(7). Finds there was insufficient evidence to show that all the elements of the Multiple CHINS provision were proven and the trial court erred in finding that reasonable efforts were not required. Remands with instructions to provide parents K.F. and B.B. with reunification services. Additionally, because the change in the child’s permanency plan was partially reliant on the no reasonable efforts finding, remands for further proceedings on the permanency plan consistent with this opinion. Attorneys for appellants: Jennifer Joas, R. Patrick Magrath. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Evan Comer.
