I can’t afford to pay the filing fee to get my case filed with the court. Is there any way the court can help me?
If your income does not exceed 150% of the current federal poverty guidelines, the court may waive the filing fee and/or allow for free service of process. You must file an Application and Order for Free Process when you file your case. The form will ask you to list your income, dependents and expenses. After you complete the form, the clerk will provide the information to the judge’s office. If the judge finds that you meet the income requirements, the judge will sign an order indicating whether you must pay the filing fee and whether free process will be allowed.
