A: Yes, you have the right to contest a 602a petition filed against your son if you believe that the information in the petition is false. You may want to consult with an attorney who is experienced in juvenile law to assist you in contesting the petition. The attorney can review the facts of the case, investigate the information in the petition, and prepare a defense strategy for your son. It is important to act quickly and take legal action as soon as possible to protect your son's rights and interests.
