Thank you for your posting.

Cases are sealed once you turn 18, but if you don't pay the amounts ordered by the court, your probation can be extended, and thus you face further penalties, until you finish paying off the amounts you promise to pay. This can cause you problems.

I hope that this information helps, but if you have other questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. I�m happy to help in any way that I can.
