VerifiedHi - my name is ***** ***** I'm a Criminal Law litigation attorney. Thanks for your question. I'll be glad to assist.
No, it is not likely that he can consolidate restitution and fines into one monthly payment because the penalties/restitution stem from separate offenses in separate counties.....and each county is responsible for collecting its own fines. So, there's not much chance at consolidating the debts like you would with credit card debt.
But, it may be that he can go to each court and ask for a modification of the payment obligations in order to get them all paid and avoid a delinquency. That would require him to file motions in each court and ask the judge to modify the order/judgment to allow him alternate payment arrangements.
