Information for Victims in the Juvenile Court System
If the Court ordered you to pay victim restitution as a term of your probation, California Penal Code section 1202.4(5) states that because you were ordered to pay restitution you MUST complete and file a financial statement based on your financial status as of the date of your arrest. This statement must list all your assets, income, and liabilities including any that you may have claim for in the future.
Please complete the Adult Financial Documents or the Juvenile Financial Documents.

Recovery and Reimbursement will make every effort to obtain the defendants compliance, however, payment cannot be guaranteed. When Recovery and Reimbursement receives the defendants payment the County will issue a warrant for the amount. If the amount is under $10 the County will wait to issue a check until the amount totals $10.00.
