Wisconsin Notice of Permanency Hearing is a document issued by the court to notify all parties involved in a child welfare case that a permanency hearing will be held. This document outlines the purpose of the hearing, the date, time, and location, and the rights of all parties involved. The Notice of Permanency Hearing is issued by the court when a child has been placed in out-of-home care for at least 12 months and the court must decide if the child should be returned to the parent or if a permanent plan should be put in place to ensure the child's safety and well-being. There are two types of Wisconsin Notice of Permanency Hearing: Adjudicatory Permanency Hearing and Dispositional Permanency Hearing. Adjudicatory Permanency Hearing is held when the court must determine if the child is in need of protection and services and if the allegations in the petition are true. Dispositional Permanency Hearing is held when the court must decide what permanent plan is in the best interests of the child and if the parents can meet the child's needs.
