Voluntary placement agreements between the parent and a public agency are the sole responsibility of the human service zone or tribal social service office. The voluntary placement agreement is limited to 45 days of placement for children under the age of 18.

 

NDDHS Children & Family Services does not reimburse for voluntary placements when a public agency does not have care, custody, and control of the child. If voluntary treatment is a desire, the family must contact NDDHS Behavioral Health Division Voluntary Treatment Program in an effort to avoid unnecessary relinquishment of parental custody.
