I have a son that has been placed on probation for one year with the Dept. of Juvenile Justice, he just turned 18 about 2 weeks ago. Has been on probation since Dec. 2007 and now has a offer to go to work for the company that his father owns in La. He has a place to live and the job. Does anyone know what the policy is in this State (Florida) to transfer his juvenile probation over to that state? Where could I get a copy of that policy so that I will have everything needed to do this? Also if I was told that I can petition the court once he has completed six months or 1/2 of the time, do I do that in Florida or La. He has already paid his court cost, he has done his community service hours and wrote his apology letters. This all had to be done by his 18th birthday for some reason. Thanks for any help on this.

The basic policy is it is completely up to the opinoin of the judge and the state they want to move to.

He first can't move unless he has permission from the PO and/or state of FL. If you want to have his probation ended, you can apply /make motion with the juv court to have his probation ended. And show the reason.

Or you can ask permission of the PO/ court (normally by asking the PO ok) to either 1. just allow them to move, if unsuperised probation, the PO may allow him to just move and call in on certain days. Or 2. transfer the probation to the new state.

Your first step should be to go in with your son, to the PO, brin with you a official letter with a job offer from that company and ask the PO what your options are and what he believes would be the best to do.

If he says tough luck, then hire an attorney and try going to the judge, but normally the PO will work with you. ***** in JUV court, they are normally a lot more helpful than adult probation officers are.
