In a recent juvenile court hearing regarding Case No. 24-136 NA, the court has reaffirmed its commitment to the reunification of a minor child with his mother, Ms. DeHart, while emphasizing the importance of structured support and supervision. The court adopted a proposed case service plan aimed at guiding Ms. DeHart through her early stages of sobriety and parenting responsibilities.

During the hearing, concerns were raised about Ms. DeHart's progress in her sobriety journey, particularly regarding her engagement with available support resources such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). The court noted that proactive communication with her caseworker and family members is crucial for her success. Ms. DeHart's attorney expressed optimism about her understanding of the need to take initiative in her recovery and parenting efforts.

The court also highlighted the necessity of supervised parenting time, allowing Ms. DeHart to maintain contact with her child while working on her sobriety and addressing family dynamics. The judge recommended family counseling services to help navigate conflicts arising from shared custody arrangements between both sides of the family.

As part of the ongoing support for the child, who is currently placed in the shared custody of his grandparents, the court scheduled a follow-up review hearing for May 6, 2025. This hearing will serve as an opportunity to assess Ms. DeHart's progress and the effectiveness of the implemented support services.

The court's decisions reflect a focused approach on ensuring the child's well-being while providing Ms. DeHart with the necessary tools to succeed in her recovery and parenting journey.
