Rule 5:18-3. Long-Term Placement

In considering whether to approve or disapprove out-of-home placement under a family service plan on a long-term basis, the court shall consider whether placement in the home would fail to provide adequate physical protection, shelter or nutrition or would seriously obstruct the juvenile's medical care, education, or physical and emotional development. Upon entry of an order approving a long-term out-of-home placement plan, the matter shall be reviewed pursuant to the provisions of the Child Placement Review Act, P.L.1977, c. 424 (N.J.S. 30:4C-50 et seq.).
