I don't understand your post.
Are you on probation in a criminal case and the Judge ordered restitution to the victim as a condition of probation ?

yes on probation and judge ordered restitution

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the judge ordering you to pay restitution to a victim is one of the conditions of your probation. So it's on you to meet these requirements. If you fail to, you would be in violation of your terms of probation and the judge can order you to be taken into custody to serve out your sentence behind bars. You'll be required to work some sort of job in prison which you will receive a small amount of compensation for and the jusdge can require that all money you earn, go towards the restitution.

Didn't they advise you to meet with financial services following your release or at the end of your case, to make payment arrangements? I believe that's standard procedure here in California

Which judge is telling you to pay the victim money? A civil court judge (via judgement in a lawsuit)? Or a criminal court judge (via restitution as part of your sentence)?

being sued

criminal court judge via restitution as part of your sentence

Then failure to pay that restitution could be considered a violation of probation and you could find yourself back in custody.
