Can you get your Wyoming court filing fee waived?

    Wyoming 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 Wyoming

    • 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.

    Public assistance is one line on a full financial disclosure, not an automatic qualifier. Some costs, such as publication fees, are usually not waived even when the request is granted.

    What to file

    Wyoming uses the Affidavit of Indigency and Request for Waiver of Fees and Costs (MISC 11). File it at the same time as your petition or response, not after.
