In a case dealing with a possible placement of a child in another state, the sending state must:

  1. Retain court jurisdiction

  2. Ask the receiving state to assume court jurisdiction

  3. Ask the receiving state for financial assistance

  4. Comply with the receiving state's rules

The correct answer is: Retain court jurisdiction

The sending state is the state from which the child may be moved to another state. Retaining court jurisdiction is necessary for the sending state to have legal authority to regulate and oversee the child's placement in the receiving state. Option B is incorrect because the sending state cannot simply ask the receiving state to assume court jurisdiction, as that state may not have jurisdiction over the case. Option C is incorrect because requesting financial assistance is not related to the issue of court jurisdiction. Option D is incorrect because compliance with the receiving state's rules does not guarantee legal authority for the sending state.
