Willa stateextradite me on afelony violation of probation warrant from Philippines?

I have been in Hong Kong for 2 months on business. I am leaving Monday morning for the Philippines for 2-3 weeks to train the Manila office on the new system. I found out yesterday that I have a felony violation of probation warrant on me in GA. I have 14 months of probation left on a 5 year sentence. I am on felony probation for theft by receiving. I was on non-reporting probation for the past year + The warrant states that I contacted my ex-wife (she was the one that turned me in for buying stolen car because she anted custody leverage.) I will take care of this but have to finish job to get paid.

You must be very nervous about everything.  I can understand.  The United States has extradition treaties with most countries around the world.  But extradition is a complicated procedure.  Here is what I would suggest: contact an attorney in the Georgia area that you trust to represent you in this matter ("retain" him or her) and explain what is going on and where you are.  Explain that you in now way intended to violate probation (are you sure that you were permitted to travel in the first place?) and that you would like them to contact the department that issued the warrant on your behalf.  Try and have him or her work out a deal before you return and that you will turn yourself in upon returning.  This way you can sleep without having to keep one eye open.  Good luck.
