Well I know that in GA they have set guidlines but that itsnot written in stone. They are supposed to tpr if the parents do not maky any concessions by 18 months of being in the system.
They get an original caseplan and it could be for 6 months to a year and then extensions can be made after that.
Our last set of siblings that left us had been in the system for 17 months. The whole time it was set up for RU. The bdad tried his best to get his act together. However the bmoms did not do their jobs at all. I do want to commend him for trying his best. Just luck was not on his side.
The case was RU all the way in Feb they did suggest to TPR but they were still giving the parents time to do the right things. Then Panel and TPR was set for last month and TPR actually happened first time around. Which I am proud of the parents and yet sad for them. They did the right things in terminating all the kids rights, and I know it was hard but they did make the best decision. So in this case the kids were in for 17 months. But if they wanted to appeal or they wanted a continuance the judge would have given it to the parents since here in my county the judge is 100% for RU w/ the parents NO MATTER WHAT!!!
