Jurisdiction for protection cases is based on the place where the juvenile committed the act, their domicile or residence, or current location.
保護事件の管轄は、少年の行為地、住所、居所又は現在地による。
The family court, by a ruling, may transfer a case to another family court with jurisdiction if the court finds it particularly necessary to ensure appropriate protection of the juvenile.
家庭裁判所は、保護の適正を期するため特に必要があると認めるときは、決定をもつて、事件を他の管轄家庭裁判所に移送することができる。
If the family court finds that a case is not under its jurisdiction, by a ruling, it must transfer the case to a family court that does have jurisdiction.
家庭裁判所は、事件がその管轄に属しないと認めるときは、決定をもつて、これを管轄家庭裁判所に移送しなければならない。
