    Default Nonpayment of Fines While on Misdemeanor Probation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of:

    Can I be violated for nonpayment of fines on misdemeanor probation with 28 months left?

    Yes of course you can.

    It would be useful if you actually posted some more information though.

    If you have been ordered to make monthly payments toward your fines and costs, and will have difficulty making your payments, talk to your probation officer about your situation before it becomes an issue.

    What state is this? In my county, we don't violate for court fines. However, the judge will often times, not let you go and will find other actions deemed legal by the state to satisfy that condition. 28 months left on a misdemeanor probation means that you should have ample time to pay court fines. What else do you owe?

    In some states, the payment of the fines/costs is indeed a condition you can get violated over. However, the repayment rate in the state I'm familiar with is extremely small and frankly no state is going to violate you if you're unable to pay (that is indeed determined to be unconstitutional).

    Note that if you violate probation even one day before the end of your probation period, you can get sanctions for the violation.
