An order of legal custody will cause the removal of the child/children from the legal and physical custody of the non-custodial parent, guardian or custodian for an indefinite time.

An order of permanent custody permanently divests all parents, guardians and legal or temporary custodians of all of their parental rights, privileges and obligations with respect to the child/children.

A case plan may be prepared for the child/children/family. The case plan may require you to participate in certain supportive services in order to assist you in meeting the goals and objectives of the case plan. You may be held in contempt of court and subject yourself to a fine, incarceration, removal from the child/children’s home or another appropriate sanction for failure to comply with the terms of the court ordered case plan.

You may be subject to a child support obligation.
