A court may require payment of court costs before granting deferred disposition, or allow installments, or require community service, or both.

• A. Before granting
• B. In installments
• C. By community service
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that a court has discretion to condition deferred disposition with different ways to satisfy court costs and obligations. Deferred disposition lets you delay the final outcome while you meet specified terms. A court can require payment of court costs before granting the deferred disposition to ensure costs are covered. If paying upfront isn’t feasible, the court can allow installments to spread the obligation over time. A court may also require community service to satisfy the cost or penalty, or it can combine payment with service. Because these options can be used alone or together, the best choice is that all of the above are possibilities.
