N.Y. Family Court Act § 773: Petition for transfer

§ 773. Petition for transfer. Any institution, society or agency in

which a person was placed under section seven hundred fifty-six of this

article may petition to the court which made the order of placement for

transfer of that person to a society or agency, governed or controlled

by persons of the same religious faith or persuasion as that of the

child, where practicable, or, if not practicable, to some other suitable

institution, or to some other suitable institution on the ground that

(a) the presence of such person is seriously detrimental to the

welfare of the applicant institution, society, agency or other persons

in its care, or

(b) after placement by the court, such person was released on parole

or probation from such institution, society or agency and a term or

condition of the release was willfully violated. The petition shall be

verified by an officer of the applicant institution, society or agency

and shall specify the act or acts bringing the person within this

section.
