Rule 3.104. Installment Payment Orders

(A) Motion for Installment Payment Order. A party against whom a money judgment has

been entered may move for entry of an order permitting the judgment to be paid in

installments in accordance with MCL 600.6201 et seq. A copy of the motion must be

served on the plaintiff by the party who filed the objection.

(B) Consideration of Motion. The motion will be granted without further hearing unless the

plaintiff files, and serves on the defendant, written objections within 14 days after the

service date of the defendant's motion. If objections are filed, the clerk must promptly

present the motion and objections to the court. The court will decide the motion based on

the documents filed or notify the parties that a hearing will be required. Unless the court

schedules the hearing, the moving party is responsible for noticing the motion for

hearing.

(C) Failure to Comply with Installment Order. If the defendant fails to make payments

pursuant to the order for installment payments, the plaintiff may file and serve on the

defendant a motion to set aside the order for installment payments. Unless a hearing is

requested within 14 days after service of the motion, the order to set aside the order for

installment payments will be entered.

(D) Request After Failure to Comply with Previous Order. If the defendant moves for an

order for installment payments within 91 days after a previous installment order has been

set aside, unless good cause is shown the court shall assess costs against the defendant as

a condition of entry of the new order.
