## Text

(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.
