COURT SERVICES

The purpose of the Clayton County Juvenile Court is to ensure that children whose well-being is threatened shall be assisted, protected, and restored, if possible, as secure, law-abiding citizens.

JURISDICTION

Any child under 17 who is a resident of Clayton County and is alleged to have committed a delinquent or unruly act and any child under 18 who is a resident of Clayton County and alleged to be deprived.  There are certain offenses that Georgia law requires to be handled in Superior Court.

Number of Youths Served in 2009 - 4,199

We receive referrals from law enforcement agencies, Department of Family and Children Services, school officials, parents and others.

The application procedure consists of the filing of a complaint or petition.  There is no filing fee, but the court does assess a supervision fee in cases where juveniles are on probation or formal supervision.  These fees may be used to purchase services such as counseling, educational programming, mediation services, or community services.  Our source of funding comes from Clayton County and Federal Grants.
