Can you get your Indiana court filing fee waived?
Indiana decides fee waivers using a judge's decision on your sworn affidavit. There is no published income cutoff, so no calculator can tell you the answer. What follows is the actual standard a judge applies.
Ways to qualify in Indiana
- Inability to pay. You explain your income, expenses and debts on a sworn form, and the court decides whether paying the fee would leave you unable to cover basic needs. This route has no income cutoff.
Benefits are listed as income lines, not automatic qualifiers. The judge may grant a full or partial waiver.
What to file
Indiana uses the Verified Motion for Fee Waiver (CCA-GF-0420-3006). File it at the same time as your petition or response, not after.
This page explains how Indiana decides fee waivers. It is not legal advice, and it cannot tell you how a judge will rule on your case. Virdix is a document preparation service, not a law firm.
