The Probation Department and Your Divorce
In some cases the Probation Department will get involved in a divorce case. "The probation officer's workload may include screening cases from the motions list, fact gathering for the justices, providing dispute intervention, monitoring job search orders, facilitating drug testing, assisting in supervised visitation matters, and checking criminal records. In some instances, the probation department will undertake investigations and interface with the Department of Social Services."
