Josie Asked About 'Can you place court-ordered community service? on QueryCAT'

Can you make time payments if you are found guilty and don't have all the fine money with you at your court date?

Do District Courts in New Hampshire except time payments of fines if the defendant is found guilty and only has some of the money toward the fine due to being out of work for health reasons?

I went to court in Salem NH (District Court) and found out that if you do not have ALL of the fine money with you, you either have to find someone who will "lend" you the difference, or come back at 2:30pm and face the Presiding Judge, he will decide if you can make payments of go to jail (in NH the court will get $50 per day for each person that goes to jail due to not having enough money for their fine).  I owed $40 and I luckily was able to borrow it from my father.  Now this is only for NH so far, I don't know about other States.

Your question is rather vague. In what type of court do you suspect there may be a hearing? Do you have a prior case and/or case number? In general, you would contact the local court which has jurisdiction over the matter; i.e., Family Law, Civil, Traffic, Criminal, etcetera. If you do not know or ...

How do I adjourn my court date in NY for a ticket?

You need to call the telephone number on the back of the ticket and request an adjournment. However, I will be completely honest with you; it's not likely you'll be granted an adjournment unless maybe you have a really good excuse for requesting it.
