CHAPTER 16

CHILD PROTECTIVE ACT

16-1604.  Retention of jurisdiction. (1) Jurisdiction obtained by the court under this chapter shall be retained until the child’s eighteenth birthday, unless terminated prior thereto or extended by the court pursuant to section 16-1622(5), Idaho Code. Jurisdiction of the court shall not be terminated by an order of termination of parental rights if guardianship and/or custody of the child is placed with the department of health and welfare.
