The lawyers are preparing to argue that the recently acquitted mom of slain two-year-old Caylee Anthony already served her probation for check-fraud while she served time in jail for murder charges.
Her lawyers will fight against that order, but if they lose they will ask the judge if their client can serve her probation in a different state.
Judge Belvin Perry denied a motion from Anthony's attorneys to nullify a previous order that requires her to serve a probation sentence, FOX News Channel reported.
The 25-year-old was convicted of check fraud last year while she was in jail for the charge of Caylee’s murder, but was ultimately found non-guilty on her murder charges on July 5 after a long and grueling trial.
A Los Angeles newspaper claims Casey has agreed to a tell-all book and will receive a six-figure cash advance.
Los Angeles Examiner is attributing the report to anonymous sources. The website claims the book will reportedly contain the name of Caylee's father.
However, Casey's lead defense attorney, Jose Baez told Central Florida News 13 that the report of a book deal isn’t true.

Orange County investigators are interested in any deals Casey signs.
A hearing next Thursday will reveal how much law enforcement wants to be reimbursed for searching for Casey's daughter, Caylee.
Casey's attorneys could try to stop Chief Judge Belvin Perry's order that she return to Central Florida to serve probation.
They could appeal to the Fifth District Court in Daytona Beach.
Perry ordered Casey to report for probation for her check fraud convictions by next Friday.
Casey was originally ordered to serve one year of probation after her release from jail, but didn't because of a paperwork mistake.
