When a Voluntary Petition is filed, an individual/joint debtor may request to pay the filing fees in installments. This is done by filing an Application to Pay the Filing Fees in Installments.

Note: A Corporation is not allowed to pay the filing fees in installments.

Note: When filing the case electronically (Bankruptcy > Open a BK Case), type "inst" in the receipt field. When filing the case via your bankruptcy software, contact your vendor for instructions.
