A:
You can petition the judge to request a change in your post-supervision status. Judges can consider requests based on personal circumstances, but it's important to present a compelling case. Detail your concerns and how continued supervision might help you adjust.
Consult with your attorney to understand the legal process and potential outcomes. Your attorney can help you prepare a strong petition and guide you through the necessary steps.
It's also beneficial to gather supporting documents and statements from people who can attest to your situation. This can strengthen your petition and provide the judge with a clear understanding of your needs.
