Q: First time offender convicted of domestic abuse/child endangerment felony
Took diversion program made two payments haven't for the next three months due to losing my job an being convicted made it hard to get one now I failed the program for not making a payment but was bless to have a family offer to pay it out for me how do I get back in an if not can I still pay it out also could I go to jail for failing even though the program is voluntary by choice plus I'm already can convicted diversion was just a chance to get it off my record correct me if I'm wrong
A: Assuming what you write is accurate, then if you are in diversion then the current charge is still pending. My suggestion is that you contact the people running diversion and see if you can re-enroll. Alternatively, get an attorney to represent you on this and have him contacted the people running diversion and see what it takes for you to be re-enrolled. If you were out of compliance only due to money, I would think they would be agreeable to letting you re-enroll but that is a discretionary decision. Good luck.
