Possibility of relocation while on probation?

If one were on probation for a 5 year term (white-collar crime), what are the possibilities for transfer to a different state? I am in a situation where I am being asked to relocate to another state for my job, and my fiance is on probation. We want to stay together and we're trying to find out what the law states about state to state transfers...

Your fiance should be able to relocate as long as she seeks permission from her probation officer and the other state accepts her. She would probably need to marry you or have a job waiting for her in the new state.

Re: Possibility of relocation while on probation?

Based upon your brief question, it would appear

that you have an excellent chance of having

your probation transferred. This is clearly

permitted under the statute, but is still

within the discretion of the Court, who

can overrule the Probation Department.

This assumes there are no aggravating circumstances

and that there is not a history of abuse of

probation

I have had a great deal of succes in this

area and would be happy to act as your

counsel in such endeavor.
