Motion To Proceed In Forma Pauperis {124}

FORM 124 - MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE/AFFIDAVIT OF INDIGENCY. This form is used in the Summit County Domestic Relations Court by individuals who cannot afford to pay the required court filing fees at the time of submitting their case or motion. By completing this form, the applicant requests permission from the court to proceed without prepaying these costs, citing financial hardship in accordance with Ohio Revised Code §2323.311 and local court rules. The form includes a detailed financial disclosure, requiring information about the applicant’s income, public benefits, liquid assets, household members, and monthly expenses. It also includes a sworn affidavit, which must be notarized, certifying the accuracy of the financial information provided. The court reviews the completed affidavit to determine whether the applicant qualifies as an indigent litigant. If approved, the court waives the requirement to pay filing fees upfront, although the applicant may still be responsible for those fees at a later point depending on the court’s final order on costs. If denied, the applicant has 30 days to pay the required fees or risk dismissal of their case. www.FormsWorkflow.com
