Virginia law allows courts to modify probation periods and conditions after a hearing with notice to the defendant and prosecutor. Probationers may be required to pay fines, costs, restitution, support, or perform community service, but failure to pay does not alone extend supervision. The law emphasizes fair modification procedures and the possibility of financial or community service obligations during probation.
