Gerrard, J.,
dissenting.
I dissent for essentially the same reasons expressed in In re Interest of Rondell B., ante p. 928, 546 N.W.2d 801 (1996).
*939Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-267 (Reissue 1993) provides, once service has been perfected to a parent for a prior hearing, that notice of “any juvenile court hearing subsequent to the initial hearing, for which a summons or notice has been served or waived, shall be given to all parties either in court, by mail, or in such other manner as the court may direct.” A separate summons is not required when, as in the instant case, the hearing on the motion for support is subsequent to the initial hearing for which a summons and petition were served.
In this case, on December 21, 1994, a summons and the petition were served on the mother. The petition contained a prayer for an order concerning the support of the juvenile. On December 22, a hearing was held at which a continuance was granted. At this point, a copy of the motion and notice of the hearing regarding support were properly delivered to the mother’s counsel, and no further service of summons was required.
I would affirm the order of the juvenile court.
