What is a Permanency Hearing?

A permanency hearing will be held if the case stays open for more than a year. At this hearing, DYFS will present you with a permanent solution which gives your child a steady, long-term living arrangement. Here, you have the right to offer the court an alternative plan. DYFS has the ability to file a separate court case to terminate your parental rights if they believe your house can’t become a safe place to live.
