A Missouri Minor Waiver of Hearing is a document that is signed by a minor and their parent or legal guardian that waives the minor's right to a court hearing. This document is used in cases where a minor is accused of a crime, and the parent or guardian agrees to waive the minor's right to a court hearing in favor of a settlement. There are two types of Missouri Minor Waiver of Hearing: a Waiver of Juvenile Court Hearing and a Waiver of Juvenile Detention Hearing. The Waiver of Juvenile Court Hearing waives the right to a court hearing to determine guilt or innocence, while the Waiver of Juvenile Detention Hearing waives the right to a court hearing to determine whether the minor should be detained or released. The Waiver of Juvenile Court Hearing is the more commonly used type of Missouri Minor Waiver of Hearing.
