Can the application fee and client fee for family law cases be waived?
No. Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake’s Board of Trustees has set these fees based on a sliding scale fee depending on your household income and the number of dependents in your household. We do NOT include the opposing party’s income in this calculation. Client fees represent a very small portion of the actual cost to represent someone in a family law case. The actual cost is subsidized through extensive fundraising efforts from individuals, foundations, and private as well as governmental grants. Although fees cannot be waived, LAS allows ample time for applicants to pay the application fee and sliding scale client fees. Fees must be paid in money order or cashier’s check – cash and personal checks are not accepted.
