§ 750 Juvenile Court Case Transfer

Key Takeaways

  • •If a kid's court case starts in one county but the kid or their family moves to another county, the case can move too.
  • •The new county's court will take over the case after they get the papers from the old court.
  • •This only happens after the first court has already decided they have the power to handle the case.

Example

A kid named Alex lives in County A, and a court case about him starts there. Later, Alex moves to County B with his mom.

The court case can move to County B. The court in County A will send the case details to County B, and then County B's court will handle the case.

§ 750 Juvenile Court Case Transfer

Whenever a petition is filed in the juvenile court of a county other than the residence of the person named in the petition, or whenever, subsequent to the filing of a petition in the juvenile court of the county where such minor resides, the residence of the person who would be legally entitled to the custody of such minor were it not for the existence of a court order issued pursuant to this chapter is changed to another county, the entire case may be transferred to the juvenile court of the county wherein such person then resides at any time after the court has made a finding of the facts upon which it has exercised its jurisdiction over such minor, and the juvenile court of the county wherein such person then resides shall take jurisdiction of the case upon the receipt and filing with it of such finding of the facts and an order transferring the case. (Amended by Stats. 1971, Ch. 606.)
