You ought to ask your Judge and/or your probation officer for permission. Don't just leave without informing the Court. Doing so may land you in a new charge of "violation of probation". Also, be sure to have proof of the emergency. Hope all is well with the 'family' matter. Good Luck

Probation is a form of punishment for which you must ask permission for a number of things that an ordinary citizen takes for granted.

You must show your probation officer verifiable evidence that a family emergency exists.
