Can my husband’s PO tell me what kind of car I can buy if it fits in our budget?
My husband is on probation after a criminal sentence. We are having our bank accounts monitored and are required to submit and stick to a budget. I have no problem with that. I am needing a new car though. There seems to be no clear lines as to the cross over to spousal rights. I am looking for a 18K car nothing crazy, trying to stay modest as he has instructed us.

The terms of probation would have to be reviewed. However, one thing is clear, if you are not on probatoin, the probatoin officer has no control over your actions and it is difficult to imagine how your spouse could be held responsible for your actions.
