The juvenile equivalent of the adult 'Motion to Revoke Probation' is which filing?

• A. Petition to Modify Disposition
• B. Motion to Revoke Probation
• C. Detention Hearing
• D. Adjudication hearing

Answer: (A)

In juvenile court, once a delinquency finding is made, the court imposes a disposition—the juvenile’s sentence or supervision terms. If there’s a need to change those terms, the proper vehicle is a petition to modify disposition. This is the juvenile equivalent of seeking to alter or revoke supervision after a probation-like period, but the terminology reflects the juvenile system’s structure. The other options aren’t about changing existing terms: a detention hearing decides custody pending decisions, an adjudication hearing determines delinquency, and a motion to revoke probation is an adult-term filing not used in juvenile court.
