Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kansas

Re: Terms of probation

Hopefully, it is very rare that anyone on this list suggests that a criminal defendant not talk to their attorney. Certainly, your son should try to talk to his appointed attorney about his probation problems. If you were to hire your son to work for you (legitimately) it might put him in complaince with his probation requirements. In the mean time, he should at least provide documentation and whatever proff he can, to show is PO how he is looking for work.

Some other ideas are:

Does his school provde any work study opportunities. Schools try to save money, and college students can be above average minimum wage employees.

Can he work for the Court? As governmental bodies, Courts often use seasonal help to avoid the expense of benefits.

What about an online job? He could almost write his own work Schedule. He may not make much, if any, many, but he could prove he is working. The PO wants to see evidence of employment, not a big paycheck.

Your son can probably find some job if he tries hard enough. If his class schedule is the stated reason, ask him how many classes he would miss if he goes to jail?

Good Luck
