We live in Georgia and my wife is currently on probation due to a felony shoplifting charge. My wife has recently begun to seek help for a drug addiction in the form of some type of rehabilitation center. Her probation officer communicated this information to my wife's ex-mother-in-law. Is this not a violation of her privacy? I know the facts of the crime and sentencing etc. are considered public record, but is the PO allowed to communicate every aspect of my wife's life to anyone?
Also, my wife's PO is my wife's ex-stepmother. I believe this in and of itself is also a violation. How can she be allowed to serve as my wife's PO with this connection?
What can we do to rectify this? Can we bring anything against the PO for doing these things? Can we request a different PO? If so, how?
Thank you all in advance.
