|
division (B) of
section 2919.23, or section 2919.24 of the Revised | 1149 |
|
Code, provided
the charge is not included in an indictment that | 1150 |
|
also charges the
alleged adult offender with the commission of a | 1151 |
|
felony arising
out of the same actions that are the basis of the | 1152 |
|
alleged
violation of division (C) of section 2919.21, division | 1153 |
|
(B)(1) of

| (C) The juvenile court, except as to juvenile courts that
are | 1211 |
| a separate division of the court of common pleas or a
separate
and | 1212 |
| independent juvenile court, has jurisdiction to
hear,
determine, | 1213 |
| and make a record of any action for divorce or

| the court of common pleas and certified by

of common | 1216 |
| pleas with all the papers filed in the action
to the
juvenile | 1217 |
| court for trial, provided that no certification of
that
nature | 1218 |
| shall
be made to any juvenile court unless the consent of

that | 1220 |
| nature is made

shall | 1221 |
| proceed as if the action originally had
been begun in that
court, | 1222 |
| except as to awards for spousal support

1, 1986, is
found in | 1250 |
|
contempt of court for failure to make support
payments
under the | 1251 |
|
order, the court that makes the finding, in
addition to
any other | 1252 |
|
penalty or remedy imposed, shall assess all
court costs
arising | 1253 |
|
out of the contempt proceeding against the
person and
require the | 1254 |
|
person to pay any reasonable attorney's
fees of any
adverse party, | 1255 |
|
as determined by the court, that arose
in relation
to the act of | 1256 |
|
contempt. | 1257 |

|
offense if committed by an adult was fourteen years of age or | 1259 |
|
older and under
eighteen years of age at the time of the alleged | 1260 |
|
act and if the case is
transferred for criminal prosecution | 1261 |
|
pursuant to section 2152.12 of the
Revised Code, the
juvenile | 1262 |
|
court does not have jurisdiction to hear or
determine the case | 1263 |
|
subsequent to the transfer. The court to which the
case is | 1264 |
|
transferred for criminal prosecution pursuant to that
section has | 1265 |
|
jurisdiction subsequent to the transfer to hear and
determine the | 1266 |
|
case in the same manner as if the case originally
had been | 1267 |
|
commenced in that court, including, but not limited to, | 1268 |
|
jurisdiction to accept a plea of guilty or another plea
authorized | 1269 |
|
by Criminal Rule 11 or another section
of the Revised Code and | 1270 |
|
jurisdiction to accept a
verdict and to enter a judgment of | 1271 |
|
conviction pursuant to the
Rules of Criminal Procedure against the | 1272 |
|
child for the commission of the offense that was the basis of the | 1273 |
|
transfer of the case for criminal prosecution, whether the | 1274 |
|
conviction is for the same degree or a lesser degree of the | 1275 |
|
offense charged, for the commission of a lesser-included offense, | 1276 |
|
or for the commission of another offense that is different from | 1277 |
|
the offense charged. | 1278 |
| (I) If a person under eighteen
years of age allegedly
commits | 1279 |
| an act that would be a felony if committed by
an adult and
if the | 1280 |
| person is not taken into custody or apprehended for that
act until | 1281 |
| after the person attains twenty-one years of age, the
juvenile | 1282 |
| court
does not have jurisdiction to hear or determine any
portion | 1283 |
| of the case
charging the person with committing that act.
In those | 1284 |
| circumstances,
divisions (A) and (B) of section 2152.12
of the | 1285 |
|
Revised Code do not apply regarding the act, and the case
charging | 1286 |
| the person with committing the act shall be a criminal
prosecution | 1287 |
|
commenced and heard in the appropriate court having
jurisdiction | 1288 |
| of the
offense as if the person had been eighteen
years of age or | 1289 |
| older when the
person committed the act. All
proceedings | 1290 |
| pertaining to the act shall be
within the jurisdiction
of the | 1291 |
| court having jurisdiction of the offense, and
that court
has all | 1292 |
| the authority and
duties
in the case that it has in other
criminal | 1293 |
| cases in
that court. | 1294 |

| assured that they will have adequate time to obtain the necessary | 2987 |

| day is reached for filing nominating petitions for the part-time | 2993 |
| judge of the Darke County County Court now scheduled to be elected | 2994 |
