Young adults who are living independently and do not want to return to extended foster care can request that the court’s jurisdiction be voluntarily extended after their trial independence (TI) period has ended, if the young adult is receiving transitional living services. This is a voluntary extension of the court’s jurisdiction and must be requested before the young adult’s trial independence ends. This is important as when TI ends there is no legal provision that allows the case to be reopened.
