(A) The court must determine whether a judicial officer made a finding before the dependency petition was filed regarding the child's removal from the home, as provided by Rule 327(d)(1) and 25 C.F.R. § 23.113(d) and affirm the findings. Or, if a judicial officer did not previously make that finding, then it must find whether there was probable cause to believe that the emergency removal or placement was necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm to the child pursuant to 25 C.F.R. § 23.113(d). At the preliminary protective hearing, a parent may request a hearing to contest the finding.

(B) If a judicial officer finds that that the emergency removal or placement was necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm to the child, the court must affirm the child's placement.

(C) If the court has made a finding that emergency removal or placement was not necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm, the court must return the child to the parent or Indian custodian, unless the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that returning the child to the parent or Indian custodian would subject the child to substantial and immediate danger or threat of such danger, as provided by 25 C.F.R. § 23.114.

(D) A parent or Indian custodian has a right to request a temporary custody hearing under Rule 333.

(A) Reason to Know of Indian Status. If there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the court must order the petitioner to notify the parent, Indian custodian, the Indian child's tribe, or the Secretary of the Interior by registered or certified mail, as required by ICWA § 1912(a).

(B) No Reason to Know. If the court does not have sufficient evidence to determine that the child is an Indian child, then pursuant to 25 C.F.R. § 23.107, the petitioner must use due diligence to identify and work with all tribes in which there is reason to know the child may be a member, or eligible for membership, to verify whether the child is in fact a member, or a biological parent is a member and the child is eligible for membership.

(A) whether the parties have been served pursuant to A.R.S. § 8-841(D) and Rule 329;

(B) whether to close the proceeding and provide the admonition for a hearing that remains open to the public, as required by A.R.S. § 8-525 and Rule 312;

(C) whether paternity has been established as to any father, and if not, the court must ask the mother, and may take her testimony, concerning the identity and location of any potential father;

(D) whether reasonable efforts were made to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of a child from the child's home and if services are available that would eliminate the need for continued removal pursuant to A.R.S. § 8-825(D);

(E) whether there is probable cause to believe that continued temporary physical custody is clearly necessary to prevent abuse or neglect pending the hearing on the dependency petition required by A.R.S. § 8-824(F);

(F) whether a proposed case plan for services has been submitted and whether it is reasonable and necessary to carry out the case plan; and

(G) whether the parent admits, does not contest, or denies the allegations in the dependency petition;

(A) whether DCS placed, or is attempting to place, the child with a grandparent or another member of the child's extended family, including a person who has a significant relationship with the child;

(B) whether DCS made arrangements, as provided by A.R.S. §§ 8-512, 8-512.01, and 8-514.05, for:

(A) failing to participate in reunification services, and

(B) failing to attend future proceedings;

(A) if the child is in the custody of DCS, that DCS make reasonable efforts to provide services to facilitate reunification, including visitation/parenting time; or

(B) if the child is not in the custody of DCS, that the parties participate in reasonable services that will facilitate reunification of the family, including visitation/parenting time, or another permanent plan for the child.
