Final answer:
An order of disposition in a dependency proceeding after January 1, 2014, remains in force until the child is 21 years old unless terminated earlier by the court.
Step-by-step explanation:
Effective January 1, 2014 an order of disposition in a dependency proceeding will continue in force until the child reaches the age of 21, unless the court has terminated its jurisdiction earlier.
Dependency proceedings are part of family law and deal with cases where a child is not being properly cared for and may be placed under the protection or custody of the state or a suitable guardian. The period of jurisdiction for such orders was extended to offer longer support to the young individuals involved, ensuring that they receive the care or oversight necessary until they are more capable of independence.
