for driving with a suspended license. Since he is in violation of probation would he have to do two years the same length of time as his probation. Does anyone know how much time he would get. His probation was almost up,he kept up with his monthly visits and payments would the judge take all this into consideration when making a decision

Because your boyfriend complied with MOST of the rules of his probation, it's not likely that the judge will vacate his probation.
It is a situation where the probation officer may not even forward the violation to the courts provided your boyfriend reported the infraction (showing responsibility and maturity) to his probation officer.
IF his probation is vacated....he COULD serve the remaining amount of time on his initial sentence!
If he doesn't report the violation, the probation officer could be a bit more stern and let the judge decide his demise.
Best wishes!

The Judge has many options in a probation revocation proceeding. The Court can sentence your boyfriend to serve the uncompleted portion of his sentence in the local jail, he can be sentenced to do community service or serve some kind of community correction (home detention, work release, day reporting,etc), or the Judge can extend the period of his probation. His past behavior (the good as well as the bad) is definitely something that the Court will take into consideration when sentencing your boyfriend.

Well what was his total sentence, 2 years probation? The judge can resentence him to anything within that two years, she or he can make him serve jail time for two years, etc. The judge is the ultimate decision maker in this and can do anything with the amount of probation time. Yes, his positive adjustment to probation can and will be noted but still, he will be resentenced.

My ex just got sentenced to 3 years probation for violating a restraining order and I am trying to find out answers about probation. So, with all the other given answers the only one with the answer is God and the judge. Basically, I was told that the jails are overcrowded so they're not likely going to send him to jail. He will just probably get added time to his case or the community hours/fines. I don't really know but it sounds logical.

It does suc_ , but if he had a lawyer in his original case, then there shouldn't be a problem keeping him out of the cooler! Was his original charge driving related? Since he was on good terms with his PO, by reporting, and making his payments, that will be a huge plus when it comes to decision making...I'm not sure about length of time, but at this point I would'nt worry about it, because a lawyer will be able to take care of this issue. Soooo, if he doesn't have a lawyer, GET ONE!! and of course if he just went in and talked with his PO, and just nonchalantly said; Please help me with a problem I'm having...then tell him ( or her) that although you knew your license was suspended, and it WAS NOT the first time, that you had been going to see your girlfriend at times when she couldn't come to see you, and after being stopped for it, you promise to never do it again...(s)he may not even turn it in, unless of course, he GOT CITED! (he DIDN' T get a citation did he? If he takes that first step, and is just honest, the PO will think alot more of him, and that admission will also be charted for the judge to see. The more I think of this, the more likely I am to feel that he HAD to have gotten tickets~ I think he should see a lawyer FIRST, and if the lawyer suggests that he report it to his PO... then that's what I'd do SECOND!!! Good Luck!!!

being a corrections major i would think if the PO has positve words for him then that should help with the judge but he would prolly still get some jail time possibly but i wouldnt think that much if any maybe extend his probation more strict like not allowed to go within a certain distance from home or somthing like that

His probation will probably get extended andhe may get community service and a fine. See this all the time in court locally. Tell him to behave from now on.

How often did he drive w/o a license. He has probably been driving all along but was unfortunate to get caught. So much depends on the judge that hears his case.

He violated his probation, he will now ought to serve his unique sentence in penal complex. Yep, you get to pay your expenses, pay to get your automobile out of impound and pay your cost tag. If that leaves you broke, this is by using your own strikes. the two considered one of you ought to pay the fee to your irresponsible habit. Doubt everybody has any sympathy.

He will more than likely have two years to serve, if you live in Georgia.
