What is the name of your state? Iowa

Last year, my girlfriend was pulled over for some minor traffic thing. The cop who stopped her hit her with a "No Insurance" violation. No problem.

However, just other day she got pulled over for expired tags on my car(which was really a technicality since it was a car I was buying from a cousin). Anyhow, she hadn't paid the fine($300 or so). It's not like we've had the money to pay the fine, and we've moved twice in the last 6 months. We have a ton of financial problems going and it slipped her mind(by the way, her original ticket was before I knew her).

Is she facing any jail time? I imagine she'll probably get another fine and court costs. Is there a chance that the judge would be willing to give her a deferred judgement if she agreed to go into a payment plan on the fine(s)?

Thanks for your replies.
