The Pittsylvania County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court oversees the following types of cases: 

• children accused of delinquent acts, traffic infractions, or status offenses;
• children in need of services or supervision;
• children who have been subjected to abuse or neglect, or abandoned;
• children whose custody, visitation, support, or parentage is before the court;
• family or household members who have been subjected to or accused of abuse;
• adults accused of child abuse or neglect, or of offenses against a family or household member;

The Juvenile and Domestic Relations courts are district courts, which in Virginia means they are not courts of record and there are no jury trials. All cases are heard and decided by the judge. 

You can access adult case information online by docket number or name on the Virginia Courts website. Juvenile cases cannot be looked up on the website. You can also view this Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court document for answers to frequent questions.
