You pled guilty and paid the fines, so there is no want of prosecution. The state has fully prosecuted the case to a guilty plea and collected its fine. I am not seeing this as a viable course of action. If being ability to produce the documents is creating some other sort of hardship, you might... View More

You can remove the interlock. I would send the bill to my Ex.
You have no obligations to him or the court. Therefore, you can remove the device from YOUR vehicle.
Your Ex needs to update the court and/or the probation department about his vehicle status.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

The good news is that you, your lawyer, or your PO can request the court allow you to remove the Interlock device. If your PO is willing to make the request, that would be the best way as the court usually grants the request from the PO.
If your PO will not do it, it MUST be done by a... View More
