It depends on your settlement agreement. If you cannot pay all at once, try to negotiate installment payments.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

A settlement can be whatever the parties agree upon. Most Plaintiffs will gladly take a reasonable payment arrangement, particularly if some monies are paid at the time of signing the agreement. Insist upon reaonable payments when you discuss your settlement.
