    Default Ending Probation Early

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia

    I live in Georgia and was sentenced to 7 years probation for scamming some people out of paintball guns online. I am now about a year in to it and have a plan to pay everything off within the next few months. I am trying to travel internationally for missions work and cannot do so while I am on probation. Once everything is paid off what are the procedures for petitioning the court to end my probation? Also, is there any way to travel out of country while on probation?

    You ask your probation officer. If your probation officer says "no", you can bring a motion with the court, but about 99.99% of the time the judge will side with the probation officer.

    My probation officer said he doesn't care as I have not had any problems at all while on probation. He can't make the decision though. He said he will petition the court in another year or so when I hit the 2 year mark, but if I wanted to get off early he would support it. I just need to know the procedure to petition the court, by policy he can't really advise me.

    You can try looking in the county law library to see if there's a practitioner's guide to the criminal courts with forms, and if it contains sample motions for an early discharge from probation. You can ask the clerk of the court, very nicely, if they can help you find a sample motion from another case. You can hire a lawyer to do it for you.

    Thanks, that sounds like a good place to start looking.
