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
