Q: I am 18 years old I live in oh I am on juvinile probation my probation officer said I can't move what's the law?
A:
If the terms of probation is that you cannot move without court approval, then you can't move. If the terms of probation are that you HAVE to move, then you have to move. If the terms are that you have to get your probation officer's approval to move then you have to get your probation officer's approval.
Without seeing the actual terms of your probation it is impossible to know. Do you have an attorney? You SHOULD. Consult with your own attorney to review things and determine what you can or should do.
(If you have a GOOD REASON for moving -- school job etc. -- them most likely you CAN get permission to move, but you have to do that ahead of time .... talk to your attorney so you know how to do this!)

A: You have to do what the terms of your probation say and what your probation officer says. If you have doubts about that, use the Find a Lawyer tab and consult a local criminal attorney.
