Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
juvenile restitution
Can a parent who is divorced (but has joint managing conservatorship) of a 15 y/o child be forced to pay financial restitution for a crime the child comitted while in the possession/custody of the other parent? What are the non-custodial parent's legal options?

Re: juvenile restitution
Just because you are divorced does not negate your duties and obligations as a parent. You are still responsible for the child.
