i didn't describe the situation correctly, so im asking again.
1. My friend's (lets say he's rick) mother got sued for unpaid bills.
2. However, Rick's parents are not home currently, because they went to visit their relatives and take care of businesses for a few months. They won't be back until after the court date.
3. Can Rick represent his parents and pay the fees instead?
4. If not, the only solution to me seems like his parents' return and being present at the court. But if they fail to be present, they will get arrested?
if so, will they go straight to jail when they arrive at the airport?
5. I've heard leaving minor alone is illegal. If he calls the court and tells them his situation about parents' unavailabilty, won't that make his parents guilty?
Is there anyone he could report to for help?
6. Do you think negotiating with the landlord to drop the charges, by paying them the check right away---can be done?
I think the court date is real soon.what should he do
