Violation of Probation in Florida

[l9487j]

About 4 months ago my boyfriend was arrested and charged with a domestic battery. He he was arrested 3 days ago, and was charged with violation of probation because he did not go to any of his batterer's prevention appointments,anger management classes, and did not meet with his probabtion officer. He has a court date on 01/31/06. What is the most that he can be charged with since this is his first time being on probation and its his first time violating probation? Does he need a lawyer? And if he is sentenced to spend time in jail how much time do you think it would be?

How long was he put on probation for? That is probably how long he will be in jail for. As an aside: why the heck are you with someone who is a batterer and refuses to get help? And don't think it won't happen to you.

He will spend a lot less time in jail that you will spend on a therapist couch....
