Ok, I have what may be a dumb question. Do you need to name a victim entitled to restitution in the judgment, or can you have the court issue a separate order of restitution to Jane Doe? If I understand correctly, my county puts the amount of restitution in the judgment, but does not name the victims in the judgment or allocate the amount of restitution. This is a non-plea multi-victim situation.

I've seen it done several ways, from 1) details on the face of the judgment to 2) an attached restitution schedule to 3) a flat amount in the judgment with the restitution schedule going to the probation department. I've never bothered with trying to determine if one method was more 'legal' than the next. But I do usually prepare the breakdown (schedule) so that someone (mainly me) doesn't have to drag out a closed file for more work down the road.

Thanks for the info.

The victim's name, address and restitution amount should be included in a non-probated judgment (or a judgment addendum)so the amount could be ordered as a parole condition or qualify for a valid restitution lien.
