A judgment debtor may do either of the following:

The court, in its discretion and without prejudice to any other legal remedies which the judgment creditor may have, may order and fix the amounts and times of payment of the installments.

The Department will not suspend a driver’s operating privilege and will restore any operating privilege suspended following nonpayment of a judgment when the judgment debtor obtains an order or enters into an agreement with the judgment creditor permitting payment of the judgment in installments and while the payment of any installment is not in default—if the judgment debtor furnishes proof of financial responsibility.
