RULE 7.14
MODIFICATION OF DISPOSITION ORDER
(a) Generally. The procedure for seeking a modification of a
disposition order is to file a motion in juvenile court. A disposition
order may only be modified in accordance with RCW 13.40.190 and 13.40.200.
(b) Who May File Motion. Any party may file a motion seeking
modification of a disposition order. The court may, on its own motion, seek
modification of a disposition order.
(c) Contents of Motion. The motion shall state the reason for seeking
modification and the nature of the modification sought.
(d) Preliminary Hearing if Juvenile Is in Detention. If a juvenile
alleged to have violated the terms of a disposition order is held in
detention, a preliminary hearing shall be held in accordance with rule
7.3(c) or (d). Notice of the hearing shall be given in accordance with rule
11.2. At the hearing the court shall determine whether probable cause
exists to believe the allegations in the motion, whether the petition is
contested, and, in accordance with rule 7.4, whether continued detention is
necessary. If the motion is contested and the allegation is not a juvenile
offense and the juvenile is held in detention, the hearing on the motion
shall be held within 7 days of the date of the preliminary hearing. If the
motion is contested, and the allegation is a juvenile offense, and the
juvenile is in detention, the hearing on the motion shall be held within 14
days of the date of the preliminary hearing. If the motion is uncontested,
the court may proceed immediately with the hearing on the motion.
(e) Scheduling and Notice of Hearing. The court shall schedule a
hearing on the allegations in the motion with reasonable speed, except that
when the juvenile is held in detention, the hearing shall be scheduled in
accordance with section (d) of this rule. Notice of the hearing may be
given in accordance with rule 11.2, or the court may issue a summons or a
warrant pursuant to rule 7.5.
