Juvenile Matters
Juvenile matters involve children under the age of 18 and are heard in the County Court. Juveniles who appear in court must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Juvenile court petitions are matters involving children who are:
- Neglected
- Abused
- Dependent
- Delinquent
The court also has jurisdiction in domestic relation cases where the care, support or custody of minor children is an issue.
