第二百三十六条(陳述及び意見の聴取)

When making a ruling on a petition for the approval of a measure taken by a prefecture, the approval of a renewal of the period for a measure taken by a prefecture, or the approval of continued temporary custody by a child guidance center's director or prefectural governor, the family court must hear statements from the persons prescribed in the preceding Article (in the case of a child, limited to a child of 15 years of age or older), except when the petition is unlawful or the petition is clearly groundless.

家庭裁判所は、都道府県の措置についての承認、都道府県の措置の期間の更新についての承認又は児童相談所長若しくは都道府県知事の引き続いての一時保護についての承認の申立てについての審判をする場合には、申立てが不適法であるとき又は申立てに理由がないことが明らかなときを除き、前条に規定する者(児童にあっては、十五歳以上のものに限る。)の陳述を聴かなければならない。

In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, the family court may seek the opinion of the petitioner concerning the statements from a person who actually cares for a child, a person who exercises parental authority over a child, and a guardian of a minor.

前項の場合において、家庭裁判所は、申立人に対し、児童を現に監護する者、児童に対し親権を行う者及び児童の未成年後見人の陳述に関する意見を求めることができる。

The provisions of Article 164-2, paragraphs (6) and (8) apply mutatis mutandis to an adjudication case for confirmation of the eligibility for a special adoption upon petition by the director of a child guidance center.

第百六十四条の二第六項及び第八項の規定は、児童相談所長の申立てによる特別養子適格の確認の審判事件について準用する。
