Alabama Permanency Hearing Order Return Home is the mechanism used by the Alabama Department of Human Resources to allow a child who has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect to return home. This process is designed to ensure that the child is placed in a safe and stable home environment. The process begins with an initial hearing to determine if the child should remain in foster care or return home. If the court decides that returning home is in the child's best interest, the court will then order a Permanency Hearing Order Return Home. This order outlines the terms and conditions of the child's return home, including whom the child will live with, the services that the family will receive, and the requirements for the family to ensure the child's safety. There are two types of Alabama Permanency Hearing Order Return Home: Voluntary Return Home and Court-Ordered Return Home. Voluntary Return Home is when a family voluntarily agrees to the terms and conditions of the return home order, while Court-Ordered Return Home is when the court orders the return home and the family is required to comply.
