     260.255 Jurisdiction over persons contributing to 
  delinquency or need for protection or services; court orders. 

    Subdivision 1.  The juvenile court has jurisdiction over 
 persons contributing to the delinquency or need for protection 
 or services of a child under the provisions of subdivision 2 or 
 3.  

    Subd. 2.  If in the hearing of a case of a child alleged to 
 be delinquent or in need of protection or services it appears by 
 a fair preponderance of the evidence that any person has 
 violated the provisions of section 260.315, the court may make 
 any of the following orders: 

    (a) Restrain the person from any further act or omission in 
 violation of section 260.315; or 

    (b) Prohibit the person from associating or communicating 
 in any manner with the child; or 

    (c) Provide for the maintenance or care of the child, if 
 the person is responsible for such, and direct when, how, and 
 where money for such maintenance or care shall be paid.  

    Subd. 3.  Before making any order under subdivision 2 the 
 court shall issue an order to show cause, either upon its own 
 motion or upon a verified petition, specifying the charges made 
 against the person and fixing the time and place of the 
 hearing.  The order to show cause shall be served personally and 
 shall be heard in the same manner as provided in other cases in 
 the juvenile court.
