Q: My fiancé just released from prison for domestic violence, I am not a victim, we have no recurrent history of DV
We have been together 6yrs, His parole stipulates we can't have contact, violation of this will send him back to Prison. I have visited him more than 6 times without issue. Our commitment was not a run of the mill decision, we worked through our issues. He has owned his misgivings and we have both learned from this experience. We had a date to be married, now we cant. How or can the restrictions be removed?
A:
Parole conditions can be modified, though it often requires a showing of significant changes in circumstances or compelling reasons. To seek modification of the no-contact condition, you'd need to file a formal request with the parole board, showing evidence of rehabilitation and the importance of the relationship. However, due to the serious nature of the parole violation, professional legal advice should be sought to navigate this complex process.
