The court, upon petition of the person in charge of the supervision or custody of the minor, and after a hearing, in which the minor shall be represented by an attorney, has been held, may extend the duration of the resolutory measure beyond the maximum provided by law, provided that the following circumstances concur:
(1) The services or treatment plan for the minor have not been completed.
(2) The minor is benefiting from the services or treatment plan he/she is being offered.
(3) There is a fixed period to conclude the services or the treatment plan that in the discretion of the court is reasonable.
(4) The minor and his/her parents or guardians have given their consent.
The term of the extension shall never be equal to or greater than the term of custody that was originally imposed. The court shall take all possible measures, so that the extended services or treatment plan are imparted under probation, provided it is in the best interests of the minor.
