In JDR Court, which two petitions concern juveniles?

• A. Detention order and CHINS
• B. Delinquency petition and CHINS
• C. Delinquency petition and Detention order
• D. Divorce petition and CHINS

Answer: (B)

In JDR Court, the filings that specifically address a minor are delinquency petitions and CHINS petitions. A delinquency petition alleges that a juvenile has committed acts that would be crimes if carried out by an adult, bringing the youth into the juvenile justice system. CHINS stands for Children in Need of Services and covers situations where a juvenile needs court-ordered services or supervision due to behavior, neglect, or dependency issues. Detention orders are court orders for custody, not petitions, and a divorce petition deals with adults and marital dissolution. So the two petitions that concern juveniles are the delinquency petition and CHINS.
