Social Services Court Report - Reasonable Efforts to Identify and Locate Both

Parents of the Child If both parents of the child have not been identified and located at the time of the first review hearing under Rule 51.03 the agency shall report to the court regarding the diligent efforts required of the agency to identify and locate the parents pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 260C.150, subdivision 3. The agency shall continue to report to the court, on a schedule set by the court, until: (a) both parents of the child are identified and located; or (b) the court finds the agency has made diligent efforts to identify and locate the parent as required under Minnesota Statutes, sections 260.012, 260C.178, 260C.201, and 260C.301, subdivision 8, regarding any parent who remains unknown or cannot be located. The court may also find that further reasonable efforts for reunification with the parent who cannot be identified or located would be futile.
