Juvenile FAQs

Restitution payments are processed at the end of the month, if a payment has been made you will receive a payment within two weeks after month end.

The plaintiff (only the receiving the money) could sue or contact the judge and maybe he/she would enforce that the restitution should be paid with some sort of stipulation.

Refunds are processed through the Wayne County Treasurer's system and generally take up to three weeks before a surety receives his/her refund.

Please give restitution payments 2 weeks after the month end to be received.
