Rule FCRPP 32 - Involuntary Termination
(1) Immediately upon the filing of any petition for involuntary termination of parental rights, the petitioner shall obtain a pretrial date. In the event the parents are not served prior to the pretrial date, the pretrial date shall be used as a case status review to expedite the proceeding.
(2) A continuance of any final hearing date shall not be granted except upon good cause shown. The annual permanency review hearings shall continue to be held in any dependency, neglect and abuse action as required by FCRPP (21) until permanency is achieved.
(3) Any party who relies upon facts of record in another court action to prove a matter in a termination for parental rights action shall move for the admission of the relied-upon court record, including any video recording, into the court record of the termination of parental rights action. Any court record admitted under this rule shall be certified in the record of any appeal of the termination of parental rights judgment.
