The Juvenile department handles all cases heard on behalf of or against a minor who falls under the statutory age limit of 18 years. Juvenile cases are categorized as follows:

Dependency cases involve all matters relating to juveniles who have been abandoned, abused or neglected by those who are responsible for their care, or who are persistent runaways, habitually truant or ungovernable.

Delinquency cases are those involving minors who have committed a violation of the law, which if committed by an adult, would be a crime.

**PURSUANT TO FLORIDA STATUTES 39.0132 AND 985.04.
ALL JUVENILE RECORDS ARE CONFIDENTIAL**

Because of the confidential nature of these proceedings only selective information will be given out over the phone. You must appear in person with proper identification and be one of the following: the child, the parent of the child if parental rights are still intact, the attorney of record for the parent and/or child, or the guardian or legal custodian.

Court Costs and Restitution payments are made through the Juvenile Department. The restitution order will indicate the amount of restitution due and the fees imposed. Payments are accepted through the mail or in person. Checks or money orders should be made payable to JED PITTMAN, CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT and should include the juvenile’s name and the complete case number. All payments must be remitted in US currency and out-of-state personal checks will not be accepted.
