probation question

[donald1]

I was ordered to pay ($2,000)by the court following a plea bargain agreement on a fraud by check/($800 rent). I have been unable to consistantly make my payments. I have now reached the end of the payment term and have received a letter stating that i must pay the balance in full by 5/15/00 or "it will result in a complaint for the rvocation of my probation beng filed with the court". I have a meeting with my case mgr tommorrrow. my income has increased significantly ($40K) as i only earned 21,000 last year and pay 557/mo child support.
what are my options?
(a loan is not possible)
does it make sense to put me in jail if i am now in a position to finally pay on this?
please help

My response:

You ask, "What are my options?" Well, let's see . . . . your income has increased dramatically . . . hmmm . . . .

How about: "Pay the debt before the 15th."

What am I missing here? Even after taxes are taken from your paycheck, and child support is subtracted, you still have an approximate yearly "take home" is $23,500.00. What appears to be the problem?

i have only been earning 40k starting this year. i earned 21k gross last year.
I can make payments now i just don't know how agreeable my case mgr will be.
or what to expect if a complaint is filed to revoke my probation. I now have have a great job (laser optics company), stable relationship, and a new grandbaby. But I don't see how I could pay from jail or if i lose my job.
so i am not sure how to approach case mgr

My response:

You can either say to her what you said here, and take a chance - - or, if you believe in your "first instincts", I would strongly suggest that you get the money from somewhere (friends, relatives) and put a Bank Certified Check on your case manager's desk, otherwise we'll see you on "visiting day."
