Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-2-2-503","heading":"Disposition orders - Revocation, modification and","body":"redisposition.\n\nA. The following kinds of orders of disposition may be made in\n\nrespect to children adjudicated in need of supervision or\n\ndelinquent:\n\n1. The court may place the child on probation with or without\n\nsupervision in the home of the child, or in the custody of a\n\nsuitable person, upon such conditions as the court shall determine.\n\nIf the child is placed on probation in a county having a juvenile\n\nbureau, the court may impose a probation fee of not more than\n\nTwenty-five Dollars ($25.00) per month, if the court finds that the\n\nchild or parent or legal guardian of the child has the ability to\n\npay the fee. In counties having a juvenile bureau, the fee shall be\n\npaid to the juvenile bureau; in all other counties, no fee shall be\n\npaid to the Office of Juvenile Affairs;\n\n2. If it is consistent with the welfare of the child, the child\n\nshall be placed with the parent or legal guardian of the child, but\n\nif it appears to the court that the conduct of such parent,\n\nguardian, legal guardian, stepparent or other adult person living in\n\nthe home has contributed to the child becoming delinquent or in need\n\nof supervision, the court may issue a written order specifying\n\nconduct to be followed by such parent, guardian, legal custodian,\n\nstepparent or other adult person living in the home with respect to\n\nsuch child. The conduct specified shall be such as would reasonably\n\nprevent the child from continuing to be delinquent or in need of\n\nsupervision.\n\na. If it is consistent with the welfare of the child, in\n\ncases where the child has been adjudicated to be in\n\nneed of supervision due to repeated absence from\n\nschool, the court may order counseling and treatment\n\nfor the child and the parents of the child to be\n\nprovided by the local school district, the county, the\n\nOffice or a private individual or entity. Prior to\n\nfinal disposition, the court shall require that it be\n\nshown by the appropriate school district that a child\n\nfound to be truant has been evaluated for learning\n\ndisabilities, hearing and visual impairments and other\n\nimpediments which could constitute an educational\n\nhandicap or has been evaluated to determine whether\n\nthe child has a disability if it is suspected that the\n\nchild may require special education services in\n\naccordance with the Individuals with Disabilities\n\nEducation Act (IDEA). The results of such tests shall\n\nbe made available to the court for use by the court in\n\ndetermining the disposition of the case.\n\nb. In issuing orders to a parent, guardian, legal\n\nguardian, stepparent or other adult person living in\n\nthe home of a child adjudicated to be a delinquent\n\nchild or in making other disposition of said\n\ndelinquent child, the court may consider the testimony\n\nof said parent, guardian, legal guardian, stepparent\n\nor other adult person concerning the behavior of the\n\njuvenile and the ability of such person to exercise\n\nparental control over the behavior of the juvenile.\n\nc. In any dispositional order involving a child age\n\nsixteen (16) or older, the court shall make a\n\ndetermination, where appropriate, of the services\n\nneeded to assist the child to make the transition to\n\nindependent living.\n\nd. No child who has been adjudicated in need of\n\nsupervision only upon the basis of truancy or\n\nnoncompliance with the mandatory school attendance law\n\nshall be placed in a public or private institutional\n\nfacility or be removed from the custody of the lawful\n\nparent, guardian or custodian of the child.\n\ne. Nothing in the Oklahoma Juvenile Code or the Oklahoma\n\nChildren's Code may be construed to prevent a child\n\nfrom being adjudicated both deprived and delinquent if\n\nthere exists a factual basis for such a finding;\n\n3. The court may commit the child to the custody of a private\n\ninstitution or agency, including any institution established and\n\noperated by the county, authorized to care for children or to place\nthe Oklahoma Juvenile Code or the Oklahoma\n\nChildren's Code may be construed to prevent a child\n\nfrom being adjudicated both deprived and delinquent if\n\nthere exists a factual basis for such a finding;\n\n3. The court may commit the child to the custody of a private\n\ninstitution or agency, including any institution established and\n\noperated by the county, authorized to care for children or to place\n\nthem in family homes. In committing a child to a private\n\ninstitution or agency, the court shall select one that is licensed\n\nby any state department supervising or licensing private\n\ninstitutions and agencies; or, if such institution or agency is in\n\nanother state, by the analogous department of that state. Whenever\n\nthe court shall commit a child to any institution or agency, it\n\nshall transmit with the order of commitment a summary of its\n\ninformation concerning the child, and such institution or agency\n\nshall give to the court such information concerning the child as the\n\ncourt may at any time require;\n\n4. The court may order the child to receive counseling or other\n\ncommunity-based services as necessary;\n\n5. The court may commit the child to the custody of the Office\n\nof Juvenile Affairs. Any order adjudicating the child to be\n\ndelinquent and committing the child to the Office of Juvenile\n\nAffairs shall be for an indeterminate period of time;\n\n6. If the child has been placed outside the home, and it\n\nappears to the court that the parent, guardian, legal custodian, or\n\nstepparent, or other adult person living in the home has contributed\n\nto the child becoming delinquent or in need of supervision, the\n\ncourt may order that the parent, guardian, legal custodian,\n\nstepparent, or other adult living in the home be made subject to any\n\ntreatment or placement plan prescribed by the Office or other person\n\nor agency receiving custody of the child;\n\n7. With respect to a child adjudicated a delinquent child, the\n\ncourt may:\n\na. for acts involving criminally injurious conduct as\n\ndefined in Section 142.3 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma\n\nStatutes, order the child to pay a victim compensation\n\nassessment in an amount not to exceed that amount\n\nspecified in Section 142.18 of Title 21 of the\n\nOklahoma Statutes. The court shall forward a copy of\n\nthe adjudication order to the Crime Victims\n\nCompensation Board for purposes of Section 142.11 of\n\nTitle 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Except as\n\notherwise provided by law, such adjudication order\n\nshall be kept confidential by the Board,\n\nb. order the child to engage in a term of community\n\nservice without compensation.

The court may consider a\n\nverified statement from the victim concerning\n\ndamages for injury or loss of property and actual\n\nexpenses of medical treatment for personal\n\ninjury, excluding pain and suffering. If\n\ncontested, a restitution hearing to determine the\n\nliability of the child, the parent or parents of\n\nthe child, or legal guardian shall be held not\n\nlater than thirty (30) days after the disposition\n\nhearing and may be extended by the court for good\n\ncause. The parent or parents of the child or\n\nlegal guardian may be represented by an attorney\n\nin the matter of the order for remittance of the\n\nrestitution by the parent or parents of the child\n\nor legal guardian. The burden of proving that\n\nthe amount indicated on the verified statement is\n\nnot fair and reasonable shall be on the person\n\nchallenging the fairness and reasonableness of\n\nthe amount.\n\n(2) Restitution may consist of monetary reimbursement\n\nfor the damage or injury in the form of a lump\n\nsum or installment payments after the\n\nconsideration of the court of the nature of the\n\noffense, the age, physical and mental condition\n\nof the child, the earning capacity of the child,\n\nthe parent or parents of the child, or legal\n\nguardian, or the ability to pay, as the case may\n\nbe. The payments shall be made to such official\n\ndesignated by the court for distribution to the\n\nvictim. The court may also consider any other\n\nhardship on the child, the parent or parents of\n\nthe child, or legal guardian and, if consistent\n\nwith the welfare of the child, require community\n\nservice in lieu of restitution or require both\n\ncommunity service and full or partial restitution\n\nfor the acts of delinquency by the child.\n\n(3) A child who is required to pay restitution and\n\nwho is not in willful default of the payment of\n\nrestitution may at any time request the court to\n\nmodify the method of payment. If the court\n\ndetermines that payment under the order will\n\nimpose a manifest hardship on the child, the\n\nparent or parents of the child, or legal\n\nguardian, the court may modify the method of\n\npayment.\n\n(4) If the restitution is not being paid as ordered,\n\nthe official designated by the court to collect\n\nand disburse the restitution ordered shall file a\n\nwritten report of the violation with the court.\n\nThe report shall include a statement of the\n\namount of the arrearage and any reasons for the\n\narrearage that are known by the official.

If the\n\nrestitution order has not been satisfied, the\n\ncourt shall enter a judgment of restitution in\n\nfavor of each person entitled to restitution for\n\nthe unpaid balance of any restitution ordered\n\npursuant to this subparagraph. The clerk of the\n\ncourt shall send a copy of the judgment of\n\nrestitution to each person who is entitled to\n\nrestitution. The judgment shall be a lien\n\nagainst all property of the individual or\n\nindividuals ordered to pay restitution and may be\n\nenforced by the victim or any other person or\n\nentity named in the judgment to receive\n\nrestitution in the same manner as enforcing\n\nmonetary judgments.
