Rule 31a-18. Modification of Probation and Supervision

(a) At any time during the period of probation supervision or probation supervision with residential placement, after hearing and for good cause shown, the judicial authority may modify or enlarge the conditions, whether originally imposed by the judicial authority under this section or otherwise. The judicial authority may extend the period of probation supervision or probation supervision with residential placement by not more than twelve months, for a total maximum supervision period not to exceed thirty months as deemed appropriate by the judicial authority. The judicial authority shall cause a copy of any such order to be delivered to the child or youth and to such child's or youth's parent, guardian or other person having control over such child or youth, and the child's or youth's probation officer.

(b) The child or youth, attorney, juvenile prosecutor or parent may, in the event of disagreement, in writing request the judicial authority not later than five days of the receipt thereof for a hearing on the propriety of the modification. In the absence of any request, the modification of the terms of probation may be effected by the probation officer with the approval of the supervisor and the judicial authority.
