Fee Waiver

A request for this waiver will need to be made to the court alongside the very first document that’s presented for filing within a case. A judge will look over the waiver request and determine whether or not the litigant has the right for this waiver. No matter the decision, the judge will sign the waiver and either decline or accept it. This process can also be handled by a clerk in some cases.
