Can person on felony probation and a convicted felon live together

Standard condition of probation in Florida is " You will not associate with any person engaged in any criminal activity. " So long as the convicted felon is NOT engaged in criminal activity, you should be OK.

Probation officers all have a different opinion on your question. Some will say it is a problem others will say it isn't. But like the other attorney stated above if they are not engaged in anything illegal then the standard condition of probation is probably not violated by just living together.

There shouldn't be a problem, but it'll come with a price. (I know that you didn't specifically ask but I am compelled to point out that by having a probationer in her/his home the convicted felon will effectively be waiving the warrant requirement and become subject to 24/7 warrantless common area searches. That said...) Ask the PO politely if s/he as a problem with the living arrangements. Give full and complete disclosure (and do it pleasantly... I suggest that a healthy combination of: calm demeanor + humbleness + politeness and - attitude [probably] = no objection) and abide by whatever the PO says (no matter how much you may disagree). If "permission" is declined by the PO then, whatever you do do, please do not argue with the PO (never, ever argue with the PO) and instead, take it straight to the Judge. If it's lawful (which it should be) then the Judge will issue an Order and the PO will abide by the Order. Your odds at securing quick relief from the Court will exponentially increase with a skilled and experienced Melbourne area criminal defense lawyer efforting on your behalf. In the interim both parties might consider taking a look at my Legal Guide on surviving probation / CC in Florida as it contains a great deal of information on the subject and may prove to be helpful to the both of you. For your convenience a link follows: Please see: http://www.attorneyqna.com/legal-guides/ugc/probation-in-florida--what-it-is-and-how-to-survive-it I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.

I agree with the other attorneys. As long as no one is engaged in criminal activity then you can live together. However, it may not be in your best interest to live together. If I were you, I would try to separate myself from others that may get me caught up in crime. I assume you know the person better than I do, though.

ask your probation officer. do it in the form of a hypothetical question if you want, but get the opinion of about the only person who can violate you. while i agree with most of the other reponses, that it shouldn't be a problem, i have had judges prohibit a person from associating with a "known felon," whether they are actively engaged in the commission of a crime or not. better safe than sorry.
