A defendant may be ordered to repay a victim
at least partially for financial losses under certain circumstances. In
General District Court cases only, the Victim/Witness Program handles collection
restitution payments and sending them to victims. The Program also files
violation reports with the General District Court for cases in the defendant has
not made restitution payments as ordered.
Restitution ordered by the Arlington County
Circuit Court is handled through the Circuit Court Clerk's Office.
Restitution ordered by the Juvenile &
Domestic Relations District Court is handled by the Juvenile & Domestic
Relations Court Clerk's Office.
