Benefits Handbook

This service covers the defense of your dependent child in any juvenile court matter, provided there is no conflict of interest with you, the employee, in which case this service provides an attorney for you only. There can be a conflict between an employee and juvenile if the employee is the cause of the child's problem. An example of this is truancy. A juvenile could be in court for failure to go to school but it could be the parent's fault. This leads to a conflict. The legal plan in this situation would cover the employee not the juvenile.
