Juvenile Probate
If you are under the age of seventeen and have been found guilty of an
offense, you may be put on probation. Juveniles on probation have
regular meetings with a caseworker or probation officer. In addition,
juveniles may be required to perform community services, pay for damages,
attend counseling or meet other conditions set by the court. In cases
where the court decides the juvenile cannot live in the community, the
juvenile may be sent to a state or private institution. Some juveniles
may be placed in the custody of the Family Independence Agency.
The juvenile's court file will remain in the family division of circuit
court until the juvenile is 30 years old. Some portions of the court
file are open to the public.
