Modify Work Release Conditions

Summary

If you are on work release for a domestic battery charge and wish to return home, you may need to request a modification of the no-contact order in court. The victims willingness to vacate the home can be presented to the court, but legal counsel is recommended. If the offender has already pleaded guilty, reversing the plea involves filing a motion and providing new evidence. The court will assess the credibility of both the victims and offenders statements. If the victim lied under oath, they could face perjury charges. Cutting off an ankle monitor can lead to serious consequences, including additional charges and a potential return to jail.
