Probation can be a second chance—but it comes with strict rules. If you’ve been placed on probation in Michigan, it’s essential to understand exactly what’s expected of you. Even small slip-ups—missing an appointment or failing to submit documentation—can be interpreted as violations with serious consequences.
Common probation violations include:
- Missed court dates or probation meetings
- Failed drug or alcohol tests
- New criminal charges
- Incomplete programs or unpaid fees
The penalties for a violation vary but can include extended probation, jail time, or even the loss of eligibility for driver’s license restoration in Michigan.
