A: You will need a parent or legal guardian present if you are appearing in court. If you are just paying the ticket for a conviction you likely do not need a parent present. You can confirm with the Clerk's Office.

A: If you appear in court, you will need a parent with you, but if you are just paying the ticket, which you could do online in most jurisdictions, you should not need an parent with you. Depending on the ticket, you will likely have to appear in court.
