    Default Re: Paid All Restitution, Now What

    I expect that your probation officer means that you need to pay off all of your assessments including restitution. You can ask him to clarify. Although practices vary by state, if he agrees that you are a good candidate for an early discharge from probation, I would expect that he will initiate that process.

    Default Re: Getting an Early Discharge from Probation After Paying Off Restitution

    Restitution is paid 100% she said I am a good candidate but she won't start the process until I've been on probation for 50% of 5 years which is this time next year she did however say that if I submitted the petition she would not object to early release. So I'm gonna try to figure out how to write the petition and order The only thing I owe is 800 for court cost and I'm working on paying that as we speak
