I would like to know how my wifes probation will work, Here is the facts: After my wife became disabled her previous employer charged her with theft while she was working for him. We went to trial and after some "unusual" court proceedings she was found guilty. Her charge was theft over 100,000.00. I was not implicated or charged. She was sentenced according to Fl Gudelines to 4 years in jail. O.K. now at the hearing when she was sentenced the judge (term used with pure contempt) ordered 20 years probation for restitution only. He waived all court costs, fees, fines and supervision costs. Her restitution amount is 800.00 a month. Now her is the rub, she was on SSI and I know that will be reinstated upon release however that is her sole income. she has no assets except one house that she and I own jointly and it is morgaged to the hilt (medical problems). Now the question:
if she pay a portion (much smaller amount) can the court put here back in jail? My first inclination is they cannot put her in Jail again because she finished her sentence but I am not sure. Can they take any of her Social security?

Any help would be appreciated!
thanks Mike.
