Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
what is going to happen?
my boyfriend just got taken into custody on tuesday for violating parole. he forgot to tell his PO that he moved from living in a camper to living in an rv. after being locked up for 15 months, completing shock camp, he now, after 6 months has finally found a steady job, steady place to live, and got in trouble for making an honest mistake, and I the mother of our child is going to struggle until he gets released, because instead of having two incomes like i thought when we got this apartment i only have one source. Not to mention bills, and child care for when i go to school in the morning not to mention i also work nights but i guess my question is what is going to happen how long is he going to be gone for??

Re: what is going to happen?
I don't think that living in a camper and then living in an rv would make that much of a difference to a parole officer in violating your boyfriend. What makes a difference is that he moved addresses and didn't tell the PO where he was living. PO's sometimes make unexpected house calls. I would suggest that your boyfriend immediately call the PO and tell him where he is living. Make certain that he goes to all of his appointments, finds himself a job, and communicates frequently with his PO. And, of course, stay out of trouble.
For them to violate him, they would have to go through a hearing.
He is entitled to a lawyer. A lawyer can bargain for him, and advocate for him during a trial.
