Can I travel or work abroad on informal probation?
There are no other conditions and when I asked the judge, he clarified that you are on informal probation for a misdemeanor fighting in public charge, so you you should not have any problem with travel. I was arrested for DV (3 felonies) the charges were reduced to PC 415 misdemeanor and I completed all requirements of my scentence and was put on informal court probation.

Yes you are free to leave the country. There are no restrictions on travel with an informal probation. Just make sure that given your arrest and with the charge you were ultimately convicted of, the country you intend to travel to and work in will not give you a hard time. Good luck.
