In order for the court to violate him, they need to find he willfully and substantially violated his probation. Failing to pay alone, is not enough for him to be violated. Moreover, you have proof of previous payments made, which shows an effort to comply. At his VOP hearing, these issues can be discussed with the Judge and prosecutor. Your husbands attorney should set this case down for a hearing and address the issue with the court. The Judge is likely to extend probation, so he can comply with the conditions and pay the money. Seeing how he is unemployed right now, he is not purposely failing to pay.
