How are today's juvenile courts organized?

What will be an ideal response?


Juvenile courts are part of the state court system and each state court system is individualized. Some states have stand-alone juvenile courts. These stand-alone courts have their own administration, staff, judges, and personnel. Some juvenile courts are part of the family courts and have jurisdiction over divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, adoption, and property settlement, as well as resolving juvenile delinquency cases. The majority of states have opted to process juvenile cases in their general jurisdiction courts.
