Request For Waiver Of Prepaid Appellate Costs {CC-DC-092}

CC-DC-092 - REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF APPELLATE COSTS (Md. Rule 1-325.1). This form is used in Maryland courts by individuals who are unable to afford the costs associated with filing an appeal. This form allows a party to request that the appellate court waive the requirement to prepay these fees due to financial hardship. The applicant must provide detailed information about their financial situation, including household income, assets, debts, and any legal representation they may be receiving from approved legal aid organizations. If the trial court previously granted a waiver of costs, the petitioner must also state whether their financial situation has changed since that decision. An attorney, if involved, must certify that the appeal is meritorious and not filed for improper reasons. Once submitted, the court will review the request and determine whether to grant or deny the waiver. If denied, the applicant has a limited time to pay the fees or risk dismissal of the appeal. The form includes a certificate of service to confirm that all parties involved in the case have been notified of the request. www.FormsWorkflow.com
