Who needs to be present for the initial meeting with Diversion?

It is important that both the juvenile as well as at least one parent/legal guardian be present for the initial meeting with Diversion.  While this is the minimum, we encourage both parents/guardians to be present as this meeting covers not only the conditions, rules, and requirements of Diversion, but also serves as an important opportunity for us to meet you and begin to establish a rapport with you and your family.  We do ask that young children are not brought to the meeting as it typically lasts for about an hour.
