Q: If someone I knew had a small misdemeanor charge,did their time (3 months) and had one year probation allowed move state
Their probation officer declined them to move states, after they asked them if they could leave and switch the classes over to the other state and was willing to pay everything off way faster.. they were homeless and had no help. But in the other state they had my family to help get them back on there feet. They currently have a really good paying job, and is going to pay it off still. The charge was a petty battery, I'm the person it happened to and I didn't want him to get arrested in the first place my neighbor called. It was all a misunderstanding and actually my fault. And we have a kid together that we need to focus on raising and not stressing over this situation that we shouldn't have had to deal with in the first place. We just want to move states and pay everything off there and attend the classes there faster than we could in Florida.
A: To seek help on this issue, your significant other must schedule a consultation with an attorney handling criminal cases in the geographic area of the Court where the case was filed. Since the probation officer denied the relief sought, relief must be sought from the Court, which may or may not be inclined to grant it.
