Guardian Handbook
To help you better understand the court and social services processes, the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) programs serving South Hampton Roads are happy to provide this handbook. Many thanks to the Hampton Roads Community Foundation for making this project possible.
This handbook provides a general overview of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court process in child abuse and neglect cases. It does not offer legal advice. If you are facing criminal charges, you will be required to appear in Circuit Court before a different judge. This handbook does not explain the process in criminal cases.
