AM I ELIGIBLE TO TERMINATE MY PROBATION EARLY?
Florida law allows a person who is on probation for a criminal offense, to petition for early termination of their probation after completion of half of the court imposed probationary term.
To be eligible to petition for early termination of probation, the probationer must have:
- Completed half of the court imposed probationary term.
- Successfully completed any special conditions of probation imposed by the court; such as community service, substance abuse treatment, and self-improvement classes.
- Paid off all court imposed restitution.
- Paid off all court related financial obligations; such as fines, cost of investigation, costs of prosecution, public defender lien, and court costs.
The most important point to keep in mind is that early termination of probation is a discretionary act of the court; meaning the court does not have to grant early termination of probation just because you ask.
