Commentary

Diversion through the court designated worker is by definition pre-petition diversion. Only when a child is participating in an informal adjustment and did not participate in a pre-petition diversion agreement may the court refer the child to the court designated worker for diversion if no other diversion programs are available. In the event such a diversion referral is part of an informal adjustment, the court designated worker may refer the case to the FAIR team.
