Child Requiring Assistance Cases

A CRA case is one where parents, guardians, or school officials ask the court to help supervise a child. Find out what will happen after you or a representative from your child's or ward's school has filed an Application for a Child Requiring Assistance for your child. If you have questions about the court proceedings that aren't answered here, you can ask your attorney if you're being represented by counsel or the clerks in the Clerk-Magistrate's office of the court where your child's case is being heard. For information on where to file a CRA, please contact your local Juvenile Court.
