05-03-11 NEW JERSEY DIVISION OF YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES VS. K.L.W. AND P.L.J. A-5178-09T3, A-5234-09T3 (CONSOLIDATED)
Although the Division of Youth & Family Services knew that this child's siblings were in the custody of their maternal grandparents and had their address, the Division did not contact them as required by N.J.S.A. 30:4C-12.1. Because the Division's non-compliance affected the trial judge's analysis of the child's best interests under N.J.S.A. 30:4C-15a(1)-(4), we reverse.
