(a) Request to Intervene. Any person, other than a parent, may file and serve a motion to intervene in a disposition, including a proceeding to review, modify, or vacate a dispositional order, for the sole purpose of seeking custody or guardianship of the respondent child. Unless the CINA petition is dismissed, the motion may be filed at any time following adjudication. It shall state the grounds for intervention and be accompanied by a proposed pleading setting forth the claim, and it may include a request for a hearing.
(1) Preliminary Determination. A motion filed pursuant to section (a) shall be presented immediately to the judge or magistrate in the proceeding for a preliminary determination of whether it is a proper filing seeking custody or guardianship of the respondent child. If the court finds that the movant is seeking custody or guardianship of the respondent child, the court shall issue an order directing the clerk to provide to the movant (A) the name and address of the parties or any alternate address for service that was provided pursuant to Rule 11-214 (a)(2) and (B) the name and address of the attorneys representing the parties to enable the movant to effectuate service.
