If a young adult leaves extended foster care at any point to begin a trial independence (TI) period, the caseworker must:
• notify the attorney representing DFPS that the young adult has left extended foster care and a period of trial independence has begun;
• provide the attorney with the date the trial independence period began (the date that the young adult left care) and the date that the trial period will end (assuming that the young adult does not return to care);
• reference the previous court order; and
• ask the attorney to file the appropriate papers with the court.
