Question: 1 / 415

When is a dependency petition scheduled?

30 days after arraignment

21 days after shelter hearing

A dependency petition is scheduled 21 days after a shelter hearing because this is the first legal step in the dependency process and allows for a temporary placement decision to be made while the case is pending. Option A is incorrect because 30 days after arraignment would not allow for a temporary placement decision to be made in a timely manner. Option C is incorrect because the adjudicatory hearing typically happens after the dependency petition is filed. Option D is incorrect because ASAP could vary based on court schedules and may not allow for proper notice and preparation for all parties involved.
