Can I be revoked for not paying restitution?

Yes, BUT not if you cannot afford to pay. If you do not pay restitution, your probation can be revoked.[828] But your probation will not be revoked due to a failure to pay restitution unless the court determines that: 1) you have the ability to pay, and 2) you willfully failed to pay.[829]
