Application To Waive Court Costs And Fees

APPLICATION TO WAIVE COURT COSTS AND FEES. This form from the Superior Court of the District of Columbia is used by individuals who are unable to afford the required filing fees or other court-related costs in a civil, domestic, or other legal proceeding. This form allows a party—whether a plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, guardian, or other filer—to formally request that the court excuse them from paying fees based on financial hardship. The applicant must provide detailed information about their financial situation, including income, household size, employment status, property ownership, monthly expenses, and any special financial circumstances such as garnishments or debts. However, if the applicant receives public assistance (from a wide range of federal, state, or local programs) or is represented by a legal aid organization, they may qualify for a waiver without needing to complete the entire form. All information provided is treated as confidential and is reviewed by the court to determine eligibility. www.FormsWorkflow.com
