If the judge of probate decides that a reasonable effort has not been made to obtain the information or that the information is being unreasonably withheld, the judge may order the child-placing agency or department to make a reasonable effort to obtain the information or to release the information. Any child-placing agency or department aggrieved by the order may appeal to the Superior Court.","path":["TITLE 45a. PROBATE COURTS AND PROCEDURE","CHAPTER 803*.
