You should consult with your attorney if you had one, however, a motion to revoke the conditions of your plea agreement would have to be made before any jail sentence could be imposed. A bond could be required with the motion to revoke being filed which would be required to be posted or modified prior to being released and a final hearing being had on the motion. However, i would think that if you miss a payment and you make it up as quickly as you are able and continue making future payments and discuss this with your attorney/prosecutor, you should be able to avoid any negative consequences.
