1 Answer from Attorneys
There is usually no way to reduce an imposed and stayed sentence. Instead, you should follow the rules until your probation expires. If you self revoke, you will serve the entire 30 days, less good time of one day for every five if you cooperate with jail rules while there. If you are moving, you would be far better off doing so after all supervision expires. Probation transfers out of state do not usually occur in misdemeanor cases.
