Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Notice of a petition must be personally served on the parents of a respondent if the petition is based on the fact that the respondent is a minor.
