Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

I was put on community service because I was unemployed and unable to pay my fines. Now that I have a job (third shift), I'm able to make the payments, but my PO refuses to put my back on the payment plan. Is she legally allowed to do this and if so, how do I get myself put back on to payments?

Your community service is a court order so if you want to try to change that you call your lawyer and make a motion to the court. Your PO can no more ignore the judge than you can.

The PO cannot change the court order, but you can go back to the judge and explain why you need to continually change the conditions of your probation. Good luck.
