What is the name of your state? OH
My minor son and another minor were involved with keying two cars several months ago. They confessed to the police. They haven’t been charged yet.
One car owner/insurance company has retained an attorney seeking damages.
In just speaking with that attorney’s office, my son is required to pay all of the damages. We want to make restitution and pay for half of the damages, but feel the other child should be responsible for the other half. The other child/parent said they won't pay.
Are we responsible for the whole thing? Can we pay just half without any consequences? How do we do this? Any other advice?
Thank you.
