A. Yes, all parties have a right to counsel in all Juvenile Court cases. The Prosecutor’s Office represents the CSEA in paternity and child support cases. The Public Defender’s Office will represent the person responsible for paying support, if he or she has been charged with contempt of Court and is eligible.
