Do not avoid the court. Go in and explain to the judge and ask for more time. They will more than likely give it to you. If you ignore your obligation the court will treat you more harshly.

Go and pay as much as you can. This will help convince the judge that you are serious and the judge may give you more time to pay. If you have paid nothing and the court has given you lots of time to pay expect to sit in jail.

Get an attorney to go to court to get an extension, or else a warrant will be issued once you miss the deadline.

It could go into collections at which point a $300 civil assessment fee will likely be attached. Your best bet is to add your case onto the court calendar and ask judge for more time to pay prior to missing deadline. .
