    Probation transfer
    My wife and I received probation.We had to accept a plea agreement and 2 felony 4's.All allegations of dangerous crimes against children have been lifted.Our 3 children live in Maryland with a relative.This relative doesn't want us to get our children back.We lost our infant son in March 1999.We sued the Doctor who has a Bomax repremand of "do not pratice pediatrics"His attorney had us arrested and charged us with 7 crimes.We sold are house in Arizona,and are purchasing another house in Pennsylvania.Our probation officer is calling are children victims.He is reluctant in transferring probation to Pennsylvania.I am getting a hard time about transfer.Is there an easy way to transfer probation from AZ to PA? Please help if you can with an answer.WE also have court dates in Maryland to get are children back.We need to live within 10 hours drive of Maryland. Not 3.5 days. Thank you

    No, if your probation officer does not want you to go, he will and can stop you, and if you leave the state without his permission, he will have you arrested and held for probation violation.

    Assuming this is shortly after the agreement and getting on probation. You may well want to put things on hold and let your life get back to some normal level and prove to the probation officer you can work within the rules.

    But no, you can not force him to allow you to move.

    Hello Stephen:

    The Padre is right on. If you leave the state without permission, you'll never get it, plus you might do slam time. You do need to get definitive with your PO. First ask to see the written criteria for a transfer. It's probably in the probation officer procedures manual. If they hesitate to give it to you, then you probably QUALIFY for a transfer. If they don't comply with your request, ask to speak to the supervisor, etc. Be polite. You're only asking for documentation. Make your formal request in writing only. You probably both need a job for a transfer, and a place to live.

    IF the authorities think your children ARE your victims, that is reason for them to deny you. As I said, you need clarification. If they deny you, you need to know why.

    No matter what the decision is, it CAN be appealed, but the process starts with the first denial. Better get moving (I mean writing your letter).
