Latest version.
  • If at any time following entry of
      judgment, a judgment debtor fails for any reason to make a payment in  a
      timely  fashion  according  to  the  terms of this article, the judgment
      creditor may petition the court which rendered the original judgment for
      an order requiring payment by the judgment  debtor  of  the  outstanding
      payments  in  a  lump  sum.  In  calculating  the amount of the lump sum
      judgment, the court shall total the remaining periodic payments due  and
      owing  to  the  judgment creditor, as calculated pursuant to subdivision
      (e) of section five thousand forty-one of this article,  and  shall  not
      convert these amounts to their present value. The court may also require
      the payment of interest on the outstanding judgment.
