    Default What Is Formal Probation

    What does formal probation entail for a 5 year sentence? My ex is apparently pleading to a rehab program and 5 years formal probation plus the usual classes/fines/community service. Can you let me know what this would entail? I have a RO against him, which I am told will be extended through out the terms of his probation.
    Thanks, this is a DV issue in CA.

    Default Re: What Is Formal Probation

    It usually involves periodic visits with the probation officer. There may be drug testing. Depending on the case and the offense, it may involve the probation officer's visiting the person's home (perhaps without notice), and possibly conducting searches.
