Q: I just got my probation terminated early. Will they check up on me after to verify my hardship?

A: In California, once your probation is terminated early, typically, the probation department or the court does not conduct follow-up checks to verify specific circumstances like employment status, unless there was a specific condition set forth in your probation termination order that requires such verification. The primary concern of the probation department up to the point of termination is to ensure compliance with the terms of your probation. After early termination, their oversight generally ends, and they do not continue to monitor your actions, including employment status, unless otherwise mandated by the court. However, it's important to maintain compliance with any remaining legal obligations or conditions that were part of your probation termination agreement.

A: In California, once your probation is terminated early, the formal supervision by the probation department comes to an end. This means that the regular check-ins, monitoring, and other requirements you were subject to while on probation are no longer applicable. The decision to terminate your probation early is typically final, based on the judge's discretion and the circumstances presented at the time of your request.

However, it's important to understand that the termination of probation does not always mean that all oversight is completely finished. While it's unlikely that the probation department will actively verify your employment situation after the termination of your probation, it's crucial to adhere to any remaining terms or conditions set forth by the court. Misrepresenting your situation to the court could have legal implications if discovered.

Should you encounter difficulties or legal questions regarding your situation post-probation, consulting with a legal professional could provide clarity and guidance. It's also a good practice to maintain records of your employment search and any employment obtained, in case you need to provide proof of your efforts and situation in the future.
