What is a 388 Petition?
 
A 388 Petition is a motion filed under Welfare and Institutions Code section 388. A 388 Petition can be filed by ANY interested person, and the 388 Petition is used to modify a previous order of the Juvenile Judge based upon new evidence or a change of circumstances which require a change in the Juvenile Judge's order so as to serve the child's best interest.
 
A 388 Petition is also referred to as a “JV-180.” A JV-180 is the Judicial Council Form that the 388 Petition is filed under.
