Anyone can be kept on probation until court costs and fees are paid. Is it your position that because the fees are to be paid by the parents that you are being denied some right? When the conditions of probation were set forth by the judge at sentencing the costs and fees were associated with it, correct? Therefore, if all the fees and costs are not paid then the conditions have not been met in the time frame originally indicated and so the time frame can be extended. I would start to do something toward paying the fees or applying for a waiver if possible. Speak with your attorney in the original matter. Good luck to you.
