| C.R.S. § 19-3-505(5) |
|
The
court may
also grant a deferred adjudication. This
gives parents who have cooperated with services an opportunity to
complete
their rehabilitation without a D&N adjudication. All parties must consent. The parents must admit to
at least one
petition allegation. The
court sets
specific conditions and may transfer or continue temporary custody of
the
child. A deferred
adjudication may be
granted for six months, and the court may renew that grant for another
six
months following a court hearing. After
the second six-month period expires, the court must dismiss or sustain
the
petition.
