I'm assuming that the question pertains to the filing fee in a bankruptcy case. Years ago this option was available in some states (Maryland). A petitioner was allowed to make three equal payments over a time period, which I believe was 120 days. By the end of the time period all monies had to have been paid or the filing would be halted and dismissed. A new filing could be rendered, but then the payment option would be no longer available. Also, I think that the petitioner would have to forfeit (surrender) the fees paid. I also think that it was only available for Chapter 7 filings, which is basically liquidation. Chapter 13 is often called homeowners bankruptcy, as it allows a homeowner to keep their property with certain limitations. Chapter 11 is a business bankruptcy, fairly common in the marketplace, actually. You'd be startled to find out how many companies have filed it to get some breathing room.
