N.J. Ct. R. 5:15-1
When and By Whom Filed
A petition referring a juvenile-family crisis to the court shall be filed by Court Intake Services pursuant to N.J.S. 2A:4A-83 when, in the judgment of a crisis intervention unit, a juvenile-family crisis, as defined by N.J.S. 2A:4A-22(g), continues to exist despite the provision of crisis intervention services and the exhaustion of appropriate community services. Where, however, the facts alleged are primarily governed by other specific statutes a petition shall not be filed pursuant to this rule but rather Court Intake Services shall proceed as otherwise required by law.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
