SB 475 Juvenile court; jurisdiction for protective orders.

Introduced by: Janet D. Howell | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Juvenile court; jurisdiction for protective orders. Clarifies that the juvenile court retains jurisdiction to hear a protective order petition when there is a bill of complaint for divorce filed in the circuit court and a hearing on a different matter is scheduled 21 days from the date of filing. Apparently some petitioners for family abuse protective orders have been left without remedy in either juvenile or circuit court when the juvenile court declined to hold a hearing and either the respondent withdrew the bill of complaint or the circuit court was unable to schedule an expedited hearing on the protective order matter.
