My husbands probation violation troubles
My husband committed a Class 'D' felony in December 2005. He stole scratch off tickets from the gas station he was working at. He was sentenced to probation with community service and restitution to pay to Speedway. He finished his community service early on and got that out of the way. He paid off the restitution. And he had a violation for having a positive urine test for marijuana. He was ordered drug treatment classes. The children and I had to relocate to Florida due to finanical problems and having family support down here. When I spoke with my husbands PO, she told me that as soon as the rest of probation was paid off and he finished his classes that he would be done (he's served his time) with probation and free to come here. I sent her a money order for the remaining balance due and he finished his classes and then was told by a judge that he had three more months of probation. Less then a week after that his probation officer violated him again for something false, saying that he changed residence without telling her and he never did. That was a lie from his mother. My husbands mother is delussional and is heavily medicated that she hardly remembers her name most of the time. When the PO called her house looking for my husband, my mother in law said he didn't live there - which was a lie. The next time my husband went to check in with his PO she had him arrested. When he went before the judge at the jail processing center the judge dismissed that and let him go. But he has a court date for the 19th of July to dismiss the complete violation (the other part of the violation was that he failed to report to probation after court on the 17th of May which is when he was ordered an additional 3 months on probation) which he didn't know he had to report to her because he had just seen her a week before court and had an appointment for two weeks later. That was non intentional and was a misunderstanding on his part. So we hired him a lawyer.
I have made it clear to all involved that it is important my husband be here with our family, because I am raising our four sons alone. Our youngest who is 7 months old has never even met his father. My oldest are 3 year old twins and we have a one and a half year old as well. His children need him and I need his help. Not to mention that aside from the violations he has met the terms of his probation and we were lied to by his PO.
What are the chances that when he goes before the judge on the 19th of July that the violations will be dropped? I am anxious to start rebuilding my family and put this nightmare behind us. My husband and I have been apart for over a year now and this is all over a crime he committed in December 2005. It is now June 2007 and this has been emotional and mental torture on us and on my children who ask about their daddy every day.
