Violating the Terms of Your Probation
According to North Carolina law, probation is designed to "insure that the defendant will lead a law-abiding life or assist him to do so."
The terms of your probation will generally include that:
- You commit no future offenses
- Report to your probation officer
- Remain within your court's jurisdiction unless granted permission to leave
- Refrain from absconding as well as possessing guns or other deadly weapons
- Pay any family support obligations as determined by the courts
- Seek gainful employment or a course of job training
- Pay all necessary court costs and fees associated with probation
At the discretion of the court, probation may also include such conditions as house arrest with electronic monitoring, community service hours, detention in a confinement facility for not more than six days per month, drug or alcohol testing and treatment, or completion of a domestic abuser's program.
Should you violate the terms of your probation, your probation may be revoked by the court resulting in your incarceration. Because of the serious consequences you may be facing, you will want to enlist the services of a competent attorney to help you obtain the best possible case result.
