Q: How can I get my husband out of jail he is on a probation hold. He doesn't have a court date yet. He owes 1562 dollars
The 1562 dollars is his arrears for probation. And a 725 dollar ticket he had a bench warrant out for. He is willing to go to rehab. I am trying to pay his arrears will that help any
A: If your husband has a probation hold then he will be held until the probation hold is released---usually that involves a hearing before the Judge to determine whether or not the hold is valid and if valid then what punishment to give to your husband for violation of the probation. That said, if the issues behind the hold are only arrearages and a failure to appear for a traffic ticket, it is possible that Judge will lift the hold if the monies are paid----that said, I think money would be best spend to hire an attorney to represent your husband in Court and perhaps to represent him to speak to the probation officer (and the Court) to determine what, if anything, will satisfy in order to lift the hold and not have your husband stay in jail.
