Massachusetts Order Approving Payment of Filing Fee In Installments is a court order issued by a judge in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts allowing a petitioner to pay their court filing fee in installments. This order is typically used in cases of financial hardship, allowing the petitioner to pay the filing fee in smaller amounts instead of all at once. There are two types of Massachusetts Order Approving Payment of Filing Fee In Installments: (1) an Order issued by the court itself; and (2) an Order issued by the Massachusetts Office of the Commissioner of Probation. In either case, the Order must be filed with the court clerk to be valid.
