Louisville, KY asked in Criminal Law for Indiana

Q: I’m on the diversion, what are the chances of getting a small extension to finish the requirements?

I will have my community service done, but the class I have to take is only available a few days after my compliance hearing. I’ve had a year to do everything, but this year has been hard financially and super busy so I never had money or time for any of it. Will the judge extend it to let me do the class?? I’m also 6 months pregnant, idk if that effects the judges decision or not. Also this happened in Johnson county greenwood indiana

A: It will depend on the prosecutor and the judge, if you had an attorney before, you should contact them before going to court. If the court and the prosecutor do not agree to the extension then your case will be back where it was before the diversion and a conviction is much more likely. If you did not have an attorney consider consulting with one, ASAP.
