[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 543063"] PG, my difficult child is in the same boat. His court date is tomorrow. I'd suggest speaking with the court clerk. Mthe one here was really helpful...for example, i know this judge won't let you on probation to pay theft fines...he makes you go straight to jail and sit them out. In my local area, judge will allow probation while you pay. $35 a month fees plus drug test costs. Can she claim youthful offender? That would keep the theft charge off her record? Also, my difficult child is saying not guilty and asking to talk to public defender. Bringing docs from rehab and sober house. Explaining addiction ( was drunk at the time) and what he has done since. Asking for delayed prosecution. If they ok, then if he stays out of trouble, charge will disappear in 6-12 months. Public defender negotiates with DA to see if he'll agree. If so, then need judge to sign off. Hope this helps. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
