How do I add/remove an alternate order?

Learn how to set up an alternate order and enter a disposition for an alternate order. 

An Alternate Order is a court-approved arrangement that provides an alternative to the standard sentence, payment requirement, or case resolution. Alternate orders may include options such as payment plans, community service, deferred agreements, treatment programs, or other compliance-based conditions ordered by the court.

Courts use alternate orders to give defendants structured options for satisfying court obligations while still maintaining accountability and tracking compliance within the court management system.
