What are the consequences of failing to pay court fines or restitution while on parole or probation?

Failing to pay court fines or restitution while on parole or probation in North Dakota is a serious violation of the conditions of the parole or probation. The consequences for this violation may vary but they tend to be severe. If someone fails to pay fines or restitution while on parole or probation in North Dakota, they can expect additional punishments such as additional fines, increased restitution, or they may be sent back to jail or prison. This means that the person will have their liberty taken away as a result of not paying the fines or restitution. If the judge determines that the person purposely failed to pay the fines or restitution on time and in full, they could be charged with a felony and potentially face additional jail time. This means that the person can be punished for a parole or probation violation by going back to jail, potentially for an extended period of time. In North Dakota, any violation of parole or probation can result in a person losing their right to vote, serve in the military, or even hold certain jobs. Even after the violation is resolved, the person’s record will still reflect the violation. In some cases, North Dakota judges may approve a payment plan for restitution and/or fines or reduce or waive these payments in order to allow the person to remain on parole or probation. This is generally done in cases where the person is unable to pay the full amount due to financial hardship.
