N.Y. Family Court Act § 1015-a: Court-ordered services

§ 1015-a. Court-ordered services. In any proceeding under this

article, the court may order a social services official to provide or

arrange for the provision of services or assistance to the child and

their family to facilitate the protection of the child, the

rehabilitation of the family and, as appropriate, the discharge of the

child from foster care. Such order shall not include the provision of

any service or assistance to the child and their family which is not

authorized or required to be made available pursuant to the

comprehensive annual services program plan then in effect. In any order

issued pursuant to this section the court may require a social services

official to make periodic progress reports to the court on the

implementation of such order. Nothing in such order shall preclude any

party from exercising its rights under this article or any other

provision of law relating to the return of the care and custody of the

child by a social services official to the parent, parents or guardian.

Violation of such order shall be subject to punishment pursuant to

section seven hundred fifty-three of the judiciary law. Such order

relating to services for a child placed in foster care shall be

enforceable after such child is discharged from foster care pursuant to

subdivision (d) of section one thousand eighty-eight of this act.
