Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

I'm turning 18 on the 20th of Sept and im in PA and I've been paying payment plans for the past two years there's 140$ left im not done paying yet. What will happen when I turn 18? I can still keep doing payment plans or will i have to go to jail? At first i had to just pay the fine then i had community service because i asked is there something else i can do besides pay and i didn't do that so it went to the judge and now it's been payment plans $10.00 a month. & no i am not on Probation by the way.

You could go to jail for missing a payment. Many times clients who fail to make a payment or restitution get sent back to court for failing to make payments. I would suggest continuing to pay your balance until it's paid. It's just $140.00 I would rather pay it, and never have to worry about it again. Did the court offer to expunge your record based on you completing community service and making restitution?
