You can ask, but you had better have a good reason. You need to show good faith. Do you have at least part of your fine ready for payment?

You can always ask. Just make sure you are prepare to offer a good explanation as to why you need the extension. You don't want to risk successful completion of your case just because of the fine. Tiffany Ritchie www.srtriallawyers.com 312.888.5833

The judge will ask why; you had better have a good reason.

Aside from a good reason as to why you have not paid up until now, you need a PLAN for paying going forward. (Not a hope, but a real plan that will assure the Judge that you will pay.)
