Where I live parolees/probationers aren't allowed to be in a relationship with someone who is also on either unless they get permission.

I've not heard of background checks, but they do like to meet the person they are with.

I was asked if I had a record of any kind, but they didn't run a background check on me.

in wv you can be in a relationship but they cant have any kids and you have to tell her and the po before have sex i thank they just want to make sure she is of age and all

ask the po he well to you what you need to know that there job to help after all right

Cakies,
That's not a silly question. You are new to this and there are so many unanswered questions. Ricky and knownot are correct, you should ask the PO yourself. I wish you and your fiancé every happiness!

Agreed! Always, always, always ask and find out ... cover every single base twice and never give them a reason to violate anyone.

Maybe, for the sake of anonymity, you could call the probation office and just ask a receptionist the rules/regulations. No reason to bring undue scrutiny your way.

His old PO just checked my driver's license and was happy, but now we have this new guy. Does he need to check as well or is it in the old PO's notes that he is engaged to me (she knew about the engagement and our plans to get married some day) and she had made sure I was over 18?

I have no criminal background at all. The oolong thing u have is a parking ticket.

I guess it depends what the new PO is like....He might be happy with the case notes, or he may want to ask you a couple of questions. Sometimes these things are beyond our control and we just have to go along with it. Since you don't have a criminal background don't worry about it.

What kind of questions do they normally ask?

Questions asked by my husbands PO of me:
Are you aware of his offense?
How old are you?
Do you work? (my answer was no) so I got what is your income or do you plan on working?
Do you have children?
Do you want children?
Do you have a smartphone or computer? Are they password protected?
Have you ever been convicted of anything?
Have you ever been charged with anything?

That was the gist of it. As she got to know me more and as our situation changed the questions changed.

He has since switched PO's and I have never spoken to this one. I'm guessing the old one's notes are good enough for them. We had also been together for a long time before the switch.

I've never had a background check run on me by the probation department.

I live in WV and have a child. My BF's PO already knew we were dating before my BF took a plea deal. He had no issues with us dating. According to his rules of course, he's not allowed around my child because of his probation, but that's not a restriction from the PO himself. We're currently trying to get permission for her to be included in the list of children he's allowed around during probation, since we were dating before hand.

I met my BF's PO once while we were out to lunch, didn't ask me anything about myself, as my BF had already told him whatever he asked. As far as I can tell, each PO has their own say on the matter, and it really depends on whether they're "jerks" about it or not.
