Additional Juvenile Court Information
Juvenile Dependency Court
This court hears matters concerning abuse or neglect to determine whether a minor should be made a ward of the Court. Dependency proceedings focus on whether a parent has harmed or is unable to properly care for a child.
Most juvenile proceedings are confidential. If you are a party to a juvenile dependency case, the clerk cannot provide information by telephone.
