Fines / Payment / Extension of Time to Pay / Request for More Time to Pay Fine / Courts / Judges / AVVO / Michael A. Haber, Esq. ** ARRESTED / **305DUI
Q: I'm wondering if I can request more than 180 days to pay a fine before they suspend my license in the state of Florida. I got a fine for solicitation of prostitution and was given 180 days to pay and I can't afford to pay it off in the 180 days and I can't lose my license because I will lose my job
Judge's tend to appreciate (and assist) people who make reasonable requests in a timely fashion. It is those who blow it off or wait until the last minute to deal with issues which could have / should have been dealt with early on that generally receive a cooler reception.
You may be able to do this directly through the Clerk, so I would call them first. If you cannot accomplish an extension through the Clerk then call the Judge's Judicial Assistant / Calendar Clerk and have the matter print on the Judge's docket.
Again, most of the time most Judges will appreciate your timely and considerate acts.
I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
