Rule 20 - Probable Cause Hearing(a) Evidence. At a probable cause hearing requested pursuant to Rule 18(b)(5), credible hearsay evidence may be admitted in the discretion of the court. The petitioner may submit a signed physician's report, which while not conclusive, shall constitute prima facie evidence to support continued detention of a child pursuant to the ex parte order pending a trial on the underlying allegations of dependency, neglect, and/or abuse on the merits. The petitioner shall furnish the court with all available relevant evidence whether or not the evidence supports the petition.(b) Findings. The court shall make findings as to whether there is probable cause to remove the child from the parent's care, whether the Department of Children, Youth, and Families has made reasonable efforts to prevent removal of the child from the home, and whether continued detention in the custody of the Department of Children, Youth, and Families is in the best interests of the child. If the court orders continued detention of the child, the court shall state the reasons underlying each of the courts findings.Adopted March 1, 2019, effective 7/1/2019; amended April 30, 2019, effective 11/4/2019; amended November 5, 2019, effective 1/6/2020.
