Section 232.42. Continuances.

Latest version.

  1.  Continuances in juvenile delinquency proceedings may be granted by the court only for good cause shown on the record if the child is being held in detention.
  2.  Where the child requests a continuance of proceedings, the court, in an order granting the continuance, may suspend the time limitations imposed on the state by this division for a period of time not to exceed the length of the continuance.
  3.  Proceedings may be continued for up to one year upon the request of the county attorney and the child to permit the making of probation arrangements prior to the adjudicatory hearing. If either the child or the county attorney requests that the adjudicatory hearing be held at any time during the period of the continuance, the court shall set the matter for hearing.
