Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
Can an offender be told that they cannot live with a spouse a a requirement of probation post-release? There is an order in place for no violent contact after a probation violation, but contact is allowed. There is no order from a judge as to the residence of the offender.
Probation and parole has reccomended that the offender not return to the home and is pressing the issue of the spouse paying for an alternate place for the offfender to live. The spouse would like the offender to return to the marital residence.

The probation office did not write the order and cannot force the offender
to do something different from what's required of him under the court's order.
