What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
Hello--need help with knowing what to do. Son-14 yrs. old made mistake and was never charged but took diversion(community service) no restitution to victim at that time(they were never contacted by the court). Now victim coming after us for damages. It initially started with $2,000 and now has risen to $100,000 in what he wants. It is spinning out of control. I have no money for a lawyer and no one seems to want to help. I can give more details if needed if someone would like to respond and help me out. It is a very interesting situation.
