    Default Restitution Balance

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida.

    I have 2 years of probation. I have $10,000 of restitution/court costs to pay. The judge placed in the orders for me to go to Collections Court and set up a payment plan. It was set at $30 per month as that is all i can manage. It will take longer than two years to finish paying. My probation officer is unsure as to "what they will do" and so she is looking into it for me... but this whole time I was under the impression that as long as I was making payments that I will be successfully completed with my probation at the end of two years. Any insight will be appreciated, because i have plans that rely on my probation term being successfully completed in two years.

    Many jurisdictions keep you on probation until paid off. If you probation officer does not know, ask the court.

    If the probation officer and court decide that your probation should be extended so that you can make a more substantial contribution toward your restitution, then that's what will happen. If they decide, assuming it's permitted by state law, that the balance should be rolled into a civil judgment, then that's what will happen. If they decide to discharge you despite your very small overall contribution toward your restitution, then that's what will happen.
