Q: Can a probation officer from probate court take away court ordered visitation?
I volunteered for a probation officer to investigate my custody dispute currently I'm court. I currently have visitation that is ordered from the judge. I take random urines and there was a problem with the system and it reported I didn't have a urine and the probation officer said I did and because he said I missed a urine he had my visits cancelled with my daughter. I never received notice from the court, only through my childs other parents attorney saying my visits are now cancelled. How can probation over ride a judges order and cancel my visits without getting a judges permission?
A: It sounds like something is amiss and you should have legal representation in this important matter which you have tried to handle pro se to your detriment. You may seek a hair follicle examination via Motion citing the information you have given in this question, but your ability to navigate the system and word your Motion and Affidavit properly would decidedly benefit from legal representation.
