Michigan Motion and Summons Regarding Probation Violation is a court document that is issued by a court in Michigan when a probationer has violated the terms of his or her probation. This document informs the probationer of the violation and orders them to appear in court to answer for the violation. It is a way for the judge to ensure that the terms of probation are being followed and that the probationer is complying with the probation. There are two types of Michigan Motion and Summons Regarding Probation Violation. The first type is a Petition for Probation Violation. This is when an individual has violated the terms of their probation and the court is requesting them to appear in court to answer for the violation. The second type is an Order to Show Cause. This is when the court is requesting the probationer to appear in court to explain why the violations should not result in revocation of their probation.
