North Dakota Century Code Title 27. Judicial Branch of Government § 27-20.3-07. Shelter care of child

A child taken into protective custody may not be placed in shelter care before the hearing on the petition unless the child's care is required to protect a person or property of others or of the child or because the child may abscond or be removed from the jurisdiction of the court or because the child has no parent, guardian or custodian, or other person able to provide supervision and care for the child and return the child to the court if required, or an order for the child's shelter care has been made by the court pursuant to this chapter.
