## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Child Protection & Care Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/child-protection-and-care-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List the dates, placements, services and orders in the file, each with the document and the page. Write no sentence of the parent's account and no outline of what the parent will say. |
| What the lawyer must review | The account that is filed is the parent's evidence, and you write every sentence of it. The index is a map of the file. Section 675(1) defines the case plan as a written document that includes a plan for safe and proper care. Section 671(a)(15)(A) makes the child's health and safety the paramount concern in determining reasonable efforts. The California 2026 guidance says candor to the tribunal cannot be delegated, and Opinion 512 keeps the judgment with you. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the dates, placements, services and orders in the file, each with the document and the page. Write no sentence of the parent's account and no outline of what the parent will say.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Keep the index out of the paper that is filed. You choose every sentence the parent adopts.
- Sections 671 and 675 are Title IV-E conditions. The court that hears the case has its own procedure.
