Juvenile Court Procedures Amendments
What changed between versions
District courts now have exclusive jurisdiction to modify juvenile court orders of permanent custody and guardianship, whereas previously juvenile courts retained this authority.
Parents must file petitions to modify permanent custody and guardianship orders in district court when the juvenile court previously ordered them to do so in pending district court cases, or when related custody/support cases are filed in district court.
Updated jurisdiction rules for justice courts and district courts regarding offenses committed by minors and adults, clarifying when each court has authority based on age, offense type, and location.
Made technical and conforming changes to align code sections with recent legislative amendments and corrected section numbering and cross-references.
