Order Domestic Violence First Offender Diversion Program {389}

Form 389 - ORDER – DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FIRST OFFENDER DIVERSION PROGRAM. This forms is used in the Family Court of the State of Delaware when a defendant charged with a qualifying domestic violence offense is granted entry into the First Offender Diversion Program under 10 Del. C. § 1024. This order applies when the defendant has not been previously convicted of a violent felony or domestic violence offense, has not received first offender or diversion treatment for such offenses in the past, and meets the eligibility requirements set by law. Instead of entering a judgment of guilt, the court defers further proceedings and places the defendant on supervised probation, typically for one year, with specific conditions. These conditions may include completing a domestic violence evaluation and treatment with a DVCC-certified provider, participating in substance abuse evaluation and treatment if required, paying restitution, avoiding contact with the victim, attending anger management or parenting classes, and paying court-ordered fines and fees. Successful completion of the program requirements can prevent a conviction from being entered, while failure to comply may result in further legal consequences. www.FormsWorkflow.com
