You would have to ask the judge for an extension of time. Practically, that won't happen. So, it is unlikely that you will get the time period extended.

Yes, you need to request an extension and explain the reasons why you have not complied. My colleague is correct, it is unlikely this will be granted and a motion for contempt of court could be filed for your failure to comply with the court's previous order. Eventually, the court can issue a writ of bodily attachment (warrant). You also need to make the request for the extension before the deadline runs.

I agree with both attorneys and suggest you do what you can to come up with the money. Borrow money from a family member or friend otherwise you may be sitting in jail trying to get someone to bail you out. Good luck. Sincerely, B. Elaine Jones, Esq.
