These proceedings are confidential. The disclosure of any records, reports or

information is strictly prohibited and subject to the penalties of N.J.S.A. 9:6-
8.10b.

All prior orders not inconsistent with this order shall remain in full force and
effect.

The failure of the Defendant(s) to comply with any provision of this order or
their continuing failure to appear may result in the filing of a complaint by the
Division to terminate the Defendant(s)' parental rights to the child(ren) named
in this complaint. A Termination of Parental Rights would free the child(ren) for
adoption.

Attorneys must review the form of order prior to exiting the courtroom. Failure
to do so waives any objections.
