Domestic Relations Adult Intake handles
all adult criminal offenses against children or family members,
and family complaints including child and spousal support
disputes, child custody and visitation disputes, and family
abuse. Domestic Relations Intake and Services are located
on the 2nd floor of the Fairfax Juvenile Court, 4000 Chain
Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA 22030, in Room 2500, phone 703-246-3040.
Hours of operation are from 8:00 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with intake interviews by
appointment usually scheduled within 2-3 weeks of initial
contact. Intake services are also available one day per week
at the South County office. Intake interviews may be scheduled
after 4:30 p.m. depending upon factual circumstances and the
availability of an intake clerk.
Petitions and complaints are drafted and
signed at the time of the initial intake interview and sent
to Room 1305 to be assigned a Court date. Petition forms for
support, protective orders and other state forms are available
to attorneys from intake personnel or from Virginia's
Court Page.
If you wish to use the services of Domestic
Relations Adult Intake, It is best if you make an appointment
to come to the DOMESTIC RELATIONS SERVICES Office of the Court.
You can call this office at 703-246-3040 between 8:00 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. To talk about a family
abuse situation, it is best to call early in the day to make
an appointment. This way you may be able to come in the same
day or the next day. Without an appointment, you may have
to wait longer to talk to someone. Also, you may not be prepared
with all the information you will need for the appointment.
To talk about custody, visitation,
or support problems, you should call as soon as possible because
it may take two weeks or more before you can meet with an
intake counselor.
Mediation services are available through
Domestic Relations Intake Services in support, custody, and
other cases in which both parties agree to participate or
in cases where mediation is ordered by the Court. The Virginia
Code authorizes Court mediators to assess a fee at the discretion
of the judge ordering the mediation. However, the general
policy of the Fairfax Juvenile Court has been not to assess
costs for Court mediation services.
Home study investigations are conducted
by Domestic Relations Intake Services only when ordered by
the Court. A fee may be charged in each case based upon the
income of the parties.
The adult probation officers of the Domestic
Relations Services staff provide probation supervision to
adults convicted of misdemeanor offenses against children
or family members. A substantial proportion of adult offenders
on probation have been convicted of spousal abuse or sexual
offenses against children. Adult probation officers meet with
probationers at least once per month. They monitor probationers'
activities, assess treatment and services needs, tailor service
plans to meet the needs, and monitor probationers' participation
in court ordered treatment or services. Adult probation officers
file probation violations against probationers alleged to
be in violation of probation rules. Additionally, adult probation
officers provide courtesy probation supervision to other courts.
