Asking for a Fee Deferment or Waiver: If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee at the beginning of the case, you can ask the court to permit you to pay at the end of the case.  At trial, you may ask the judge or master to order the other side to pay some or all of the filing fee and other court costs.  If you want the court to permit you to pay later, click here for Form DR32.
 

Some services ordered during the course of a family case may require the payment of a fee. These services may include, for example, mediation, co-parenting education, children's programs, and visitation services.  You may need to file an additional form to request a waiver of these fees.  Contact your court's family support service coordinators for additional information and/or forms.
