    Default Probation Violation for Non-Payment of Restitution

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona I have been on probation and had extended because of restitution payments. I have been dealing with mental health issues since this began and have ptsd and severe anxiety and depression because of mostly homebound because of anxiety. Have huge financial stress that was always reported to probation office. I am now on disability and probation was due to end 2 weeks ago and now judge wants probation revoked. What are my options if any and what should I expect to happen?
    Thanks

    Default Re: Probation Violation for Non-Payment of Restitution

    When you are facing a probation violation over nonpayment of restitution, your best bet is to pay your restitution.

    If you cannot do that, you will need to convince the court to either give you another extension of your probation such that you can pay the balance of your restitution, or to take other action that would allow you to avoid incarceration despite your not having paid your restitution. As it sounds like the issues you intend to raise in court have already been raised with the court and probation officer, and from what you say the court is inclined to resentence you to jail, it seems like a good time to consult a criminal defense lawyer about your options and realistic outcomes.
