Juvenile justice and family support
I have a very difficult question about a very difficult situation I am actually facing. It is a horror to us so I would appreciate clear and educated comments only please. My situation is this. My 14 yr old son was arrested and charged for sexual misconduct. He also perpetrated his younger sister. I am being forced to pay for the probation and child support of him while the state holds him in a therapy group. Because both children involved are mine I am being held responsible for all fees. Though my Daughter and I did nothing wrong. The state wants a large amount every month upwards of almost my rent payment and I am a single mother. I was told by the probation department the only way to avoid this child support is to relinquish my parental rights to my Son. Please someone with actual law experience respond. I really need to survive this.
Thank you
