I can’t afford to pay the filing fee to get my case filed with the court. Is there anyway the court can help me?
If you meet certain income requirements, the Court may waive the filing fee. In the clerk’s office, ask for the Free Process paperwork. The form will ask you to list your income, dependents and expenses. After completing the form, the clerk will direct you to the judge’s office. If the judge finds that you meet the income requirements for free process, he/she will sign an Order of Free Process. Take the signed order to the clerk’s office when filing your complaint or petition and the filing fee will be waived.
