Juvenile Petition Undisciplined {J-230}

AOC-J-230 - JUVENILE PETITION (UNDISCIPLINED). This form is a juvenile petition in North Carolina used to initiate a case when a juvenile is alleged to be “undisciplined” according to state law.. The term "undisciplined" in this context includes behaviors such as habitual disobedience toward a parent or guardian, regularly being in unlawful places, running away from home for over 24 hours, or, if under 16, being unlawfully absent from school. The form documents the juvenile's information, the nature of the alleged undisciplined behavior, and details of the juvenile’s parents or guardians. The complainant signs a verification, and the form requests that the court review the case to decide if the allegations are valid and if the juvenile falls under the court’s jurisdiction as an undisciplined juvenile. It also includes spaces for additional facts, witness information, and options for the court counselor to approve, divert, or retain the case. A prosecutor can review the counselor's decision not to proceed with filing if needed. G.S. 7B-1501(27), -1703, -1706, -1801, -1802. www.FormsWorkflow.com
