Title 13 - JUVENILE COURTS AND JUVENILE OFFENDERS
13.40 Juvenile justice act of 1977.
13.40.192 Legal financial obligations -- Enforceability -- Treatment of obligations upon age of eighteen or conclusion of juvenile court jurisdiction -- Extension of judgment.
RCW 13.40.192 Legal financial obligations — Enforceability — Treatment of obligations upon age of eighteen or conclusion of juvenile court jurisdiction — Extension of judgment.
If a juvenile is ordered to pay legal financial obligations, including fines, penalty assessments, attorneys' fees, court costs, and restitution, the money judgment remains enforceable for a period of ten years. When the juvenile reaches the age of eighteen years or at the conclusion of juvenile court jurisdiction, whichever occurs later, the superior court clerk must docket the remaining balance of the juvenile's legal financial obligations in the same manner as other judgments for the payment of money. The judgment remains valid and enforceable until ten years from the date of its imposition. The clerk of the superior court may seek extension of the judgment for legal financial obligations, including crime victims' assessments, in the same manner as RCW 6.17.020 for purposes of collection as allowed under RCW 36.18.190.
