The court may at any time terminate any proceeding under subsection 1 of section 211.031, RSMo, and dismiss the petition or motion to modify upon finding such action to serve the best interests and welfare of the juvenile and to be in the interest of the state.
Mo. R. Prac. P. Juv. Ct. & Fam. Ct. 116.04
Comment
This Rule 116.04 embodies the underlying philosophy of the juvenile code as stated in section 211.011, RSMo. When terminating jurisdiction over a juvenile placed outside Missouri in a proceeding under subdivision (1) or (2) of subsection 1 of section 211.031, RSMo, the court and all parties must comply with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children. See section 210.620, RSMo.
