Good question. The rule seems to be black and white. Just simply tell the SO to move, immediately.

Not all cases are that simple. Remember Mr. Pet-o-phile? Well, he lived out in the country because he raised (aka groomed) his pets on his property for his retail shop. One day, I was driving around and saw this huge sign advertisimg a family owned day care not too far from his home. I asked him about it the next day. He said that he bought his property 3 years ago and the day care opened a year later. He assumed the distance was 1,000 ft or better, because it was common knowledge he was a predator in the neighborhood, and the county never would have issued them a license to operate a day care. Because of the way the properties were located, you couldn't see the day care's property line from his. So of course, I thought it was no big deal.

Well a few weeks later, I rode by again and saw the owner of the day care outside. I asked her if I could take a look at her property line in the back. Her property was 3 times deeper than I thought. I measure 575 ft. from her property line to his. Needless to say, Mr. Pet-o-phile was not pleased at all.

There was no way I could just kick him out knowing full well his entire property was sorta like Michael Jackson's...weird critters and animals, but I also know both he and I would be in big legal trouble if something wasn't done to resolve the situation.

I did some research on both properties and was able to prove he bought his first. I interviewed the day care owner and she knew he lived there, but she thought he lived over 1,000 ft from her. She had no complaints about the situation. I called the Day care licensing people (county) and believe it or not, there is nothing stopping someone from opening a day care 1,000 ft. from a SO.

Clearly, this guy was not purposely violating the 1,000 ft. rule. I sent a memo down to the Court explaining the predicament. The Judge modified the 1,000 ft. to 500 ft. rule so now Mr. Pet-o-phile was in compliance. I was surprised at the Court ruling, but nevertheless it appeared to be the only fair thing to do.

Not all cases are this sticky. Both parties here owned their homes and conducted business out of their homes. A SO who buys property in a rural area purposely to get away from schools and day cares can’t possibly be in willful violation of his probation if the only day care in his zip code happens to open a year later just 575 feet away.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
