individual appointed by the court. The court will have jurisdiction to determine requests to modify or terminate these orders, unless

custody of another parent (i.e., reunification) will not be legally possible while those orders are in effect.
I REQUEST THAT THE COURT MAKE THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS:
