Answer 1

Normally no clerk of court would take installment payments, but she should call them and see if there are income stipulations that might exempt her from having to pay the full or partial amount, call the clerk of court and ask what if any options there are on the fee schedule.

Answer 2

I know of nothing allowing time payments, but if you are financially unable to pay a court fee, you can get a fee waiver.  Ask the court clerk for the form to apply for the waiver.
