Once the court has jurisdiction, it retains jurisdiction until:

  1. Law-enforcement intervenes

  2. the family moves

  3. it releases jurisdiction

  4. case is closed in court

The correct answer is: it releases jurisdiction

Once the court has jurisdiction, it retains jurisdiction until it releases jurisdiction. This means that the court will continue to have legal authority over the case until it formally ends its involvement. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the concept of jurisdiction and its retention by the court. Law-enforcement does not have the power to intervene and override the jurisdiction of the court, and a family's move does not automatically negate the court's jurisdiction either. Additionally, the case can still be open and in progress even if it is not being actively heard in court, so option D is also incorrect.
