I have been on prob. for 5 yrs. and am scheduled to terminate this April 2007. Here's my problem: I still owe a considerable amount of restitution. I've completed my community service, complied with all other requirements, etc. My PO says the court MIGHT extend it but she can't guarantee it. What are the possibilities that it will be extended? I'm scheduled to back to see PO on the 2nd of March to find out if I've been granted an extension. I usually don't have my reg. appts. until the last week of the month so I need peace of mind I guess. Why would she be calling me in if they aren't going to extend it? She said there'd be papers to sign.
Thanks so much!

In most instances where I've observed cases involving probation and restitution...the probation has been continued until the resitution is paid.
The probation is the ability of the court to maintain control over the case until its' finalization.
Contact your probation officer who will be able to answer your questions more thoroughly than on here!
Best wishes!

I've never been on probabtion before, but I would say if there was a set time the restitution payments should have been completed by (5yrs sounds like plenty of time) and they aren't completed, then yes your probabtion should be extended until you have completed your obligations.

In my experience in law enforcement the judge really doesnt make the decision, The PO's do - I have seen judges say one thing but if your PO is there with you and puts in her 2 cents that they think you should be off probabtion then the judge will go with it.
