    Default Is the Arrest Warrant for a Probation Violation Valid?

    When my husband was released from jail almost a year ago, he never received any jugdement and order of probation. It was never even sent to him, until he had already received an arrest warrant from the judge (his lawyer FINALLY sent it to him). because he had no idea on his probation requirments, this warrant should be quashed, if I am correct? What options are there for us ...he has severe health problems and I do not want to see him get arrested for something he didn't even know he had to do... he has already begun to comply with the violation, but is it too late for that? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! ops:

    He was supposed to do a drug and alcohol evaluation & treatment within 6 months of his release, and provide proof of completion as well. As I said before, as soon as he found out he was to do this, he went in and is doing his treatment classes at the present time.

    We recently ALSO got a warrant just the other day for him 'not paying his fines...' But That one should be easy for me... I have all of the receipts.

    I don't believe he really did anything to violate his probation, as we had no idea of the requirements until his lawyer sent him the papers AFTER he had already recieved notice of an arrest warrant.

    doesnt matter what you think.
    Your going to get jacked so prepare.
    Pay up the fees. Most likely after the warrant is served and hes arrested you will get bail. Any official you talk to will only tell you to turn yourself in and well proceed from there bullcrap.
