A: Your best option would likely be to contact the attorney (their office) directly and discuss a payment plan. They will ask you about your finances and will tell you if there is anything that you can do to make monthly payments.

Regarding your court situation, you should continue to read and follow any directives you receive from the Court or the Plaintiff's attorney so that you dont default or risk the case until it is settled and stayed, if in fact you can get it settled with payments.

Good luck to you.
