Committing Another Crime While on DV Probation
My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
My ex-wife was convicted of DV Battery against me last year. There is a Criminal Protective Order currently in place.
About a month after the conviction, my ex-wife acquired one of my bank checks, wrote a fraudulant check to herself and cashed it, then used my account information to pay off her own cell phone bill. Total stolen amounts was a little over $1100, and this was from a joint account I have with my new wife.
My ex also has failed to pay any ordered restitution, fines, or attend 52-week batterers course. I've also heard that she may have charges for shop-lifting.
I now see a couple dates on the criminal court calendar "Violation Probation Further Proceedings" and a "Hearing for PC 484g" scheduled.
What is likely to happen to my ex? Jail time, if so how long?
Re: Committing Another Crime While on DV Probation
The more crimes she commits, the more likely it is that she will end up in jail.
If you are prosecuting her for the financial offenses, the prosecutor in charge of that file may be able to tell you what sentence they're going to request from the court.
