Legal Issues in Out-of-Home Care

Federal laws provide guidance and minimum standards for out-of-home care practice. State laws and policies provide further direction for child welfare agencies. Family and juvenile courts play a key role in out-of-home care practice, as they must approve all removals of children and case plans for children and families.
