West Virginia Court Records

Are you looking for West Virginia court records? Finding them at the local courthouse would take a lot of time and energy. Rather than search for them at the court houses it would be easier to simply request for the court records at www.courtrecords.org and have them delivered in a matter of days.

West Virginia has a trial court system that includes circuit courts, magistrate courts, family courts and municipal courts. The circuit courts hold general jurisdiction over all kinds of civil and criminal cases. However these courts hear cases that usually fall beyond the jurisdiction of the other courts. The civil cases handled by the circuit courts include general civil claims with more than $300 in dispute. Criminal cases heard by the circuit courts include felonies and misdemeanors. Circuit courts also handle probate cases, domestic relations cases and those involving juveniles.

West Virginia magistrate courts have limited jurisdiction over civil as well as criminal courts. Civil cases heard at the magistrate courts include general civil claims, landlord-tenant cases as well as domestic violence cases. The family courts mostly hear domestic relations cases and share jurisdiction with the circuit courts on matters of guardianship of minors. Cases handled by the family courts include divorce, child custody, child abuse and child support.

The state municipal courts have the power to enforce municipal ordinances. In counties where municipal courts don’t exist the magistrate courts fulfill this task.

Finding court records at www.courtrecords.org is as simple as requesting for them and receiving them in a few days. For West Virginia court records and court records from other states visit us today!
