I just spoke to Miss McCoy...
...my probation officer and to my surprise, she was actually as helpful as she could be. She didn't have the answers to all of my questions, but she did take the time to answer what she could. I'm still screwed, but I feel a bit better about the woman herself. I hope I'm not walking into a trap, but I think that we may have started off on another foot, so to say.
My question to her was to ask if I could transfer my probation to another state in which I have a support system and the answer was no. But, she did assure me that as long as I made a good faith effort to complete the things that are required of me, she wouldn't put me in jail. I can certainly put forth that effort, but I don't know how to get the fines paid and to tell you the truth, the other things are a bit daunting to me as well.
But, the fact that she was very reasonable and as helpful as she could have been takes a HUGE load off of my mind. I've been spending hours everyday calling people that I would think could help me and they just keep giving me each other's phone numbers.
I feel much better knowing that she seems willing to work with me and that makes it much easier for me to deal with all of the BS that I have to deal with. Sooo...as I beathe a huge sigh of relief...I can begin again to try to get some of this crap taken care of.
The fines have swollen to $460 a month and I haven't a clue how I'm going to get that paid off. She said that after I completed all of my conditions of my probation, I could petition the court to have my probation transfered to another state. But the whole problem is that I can't satisfy the conditions of the stupid thing here in Gogia without the support system that I DO have in another state. Oh well, at least I no longer feel as though she is going to toss me back in jail for the first payment that I miss.
OK then, she did give me a couple of places to call to try to get help and I need to do that now so off I am to see what I can do to knock a few things off of my hideous list of things to do. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it!
