If you cannot afford the filing fees, you can ask the court for a Fee Waiver. You can get the Fee Waiver forms at your courthouse, or download and print the forms now:

Information Sheet, Form FW-001-INFO
Application for Waiver of Court Fees and Costs, Form FW-001
Order on Application for Waiver of Court Fees and Costs, Form FW-003

If the court approves your Application for Fee Waiver, you won't have to pay the fees.
