Lifting the special conditions of parole please help!!!!!?

Question

My husband violated his parole and was sentenced to 6mths with half time however as a special condition of his parole there is a no contact order on us. He and I both desperately want to reconsile our marriage and our family and he is the sole provider for our family we have two small children together and this is creating a huge hardship for us I am not sure where to start because his parole officer is very unhelpful what can we do?

Answer 1

Wait until he completes his parole.

The only one who can change the order is the judge, and if the PO won't help, you have little chance of convincing him.

Answer 2

I think you only have two options get a lawyer, petition the court, or wait for his parole to be completed

Answer 3

Since he was put on parole, violated that parole and then put on parole again, they are not likely to grant him any favors. He burned that bridge with the first violation.

Perhaps you can take this time to discover that there are people out there that don't beat their wives and don't break the law repeatedly.

Answer 4

You may want to go to check with your local state assistance program (Welfare), they may be able to assist you on a temporary basis if needed, and/or you can sign up for a program called "Wic" which provides necessary food staples for families in need of temporary assistance, i.e., bread, cheese, milk, etc..

hang in there

Answer 5

Hi - I am an attorney.  Your husband's sentence is pretty much set in stone.  It looks like he got a fair deal since he violated his probation.  Also, I am guessing that his original charge may have been assault or domestic violence since the judge ordered no contact.

Your husband needs to wait out the rest of his parole.  Even though there is a no contact order, that does not relieve him of his duty to support his children.  A family law attorney can help you set up some type of support arrangement.

You don't tell us how long the terms of your husband's parole/probation last.  Once he is out of jail and he has a few months of keeping in terms with his parole, there is the option of hiring an attorney and asking the court to drop the "no contact" order.

If your husband's original violation was some sort of violence against you or your children, I also recommend counseling for the entire family.

Good luck!
