Does probation effect me from moving out whenI turn 18?
I got put on probation 6 months ago from a shoplifting charge. The probation is a year long. I turn 18 in a month and was wondering if this probation will stop me from moving out? I finished everything that the court ordered me to do and the judge said that if I don’t do anything bad until my probation is up then I get the charge expunged.

If you are planning on moving from where you are currently living when you turn eighteen (18), you need to advise your probation officer of this fact and advise him or her of where you will be living once the move is completed. I would make sure this is done in writing so that there is no misunderstanding as to where you will be living.
I would also read carefully the terms of your probation to make sure you are allowed to move while you are on probation. Most likely there is no prohibition aginst you moving so long as you remain in the same county as you presently are.
Good luck.
