Juvenile Delinquency Petition {3-7}

Form 3-7 - JUVENILE DELINQUENCY PETITION. This New York Family Court form is used by a presentment agency—typically the county attorney or corporation counsel—to formally initiate proceedings under Article 3 of the Family Court Act against a youth alleged to have committed a delinquent act. The petition identifies the respondent’s name, age, address, and parents or guardians, details the specific acts alleged (including the date, time, place, and applicable Penal Law or statute section), and asserts that the respondent requires supervision, treatment, or confinement. If the alleged act would be a crime if committed by an adult, the petition must clearly specify the offense classification (felony or misdemeanor). The form includes sections for verification under penalty of perjury by an authorized representative of the presentment agency and allows for confidentiality protections. F.C.A. § 310.1, 311.1, 311.2. www.FormsWorkFlow.com
