Poverty Affidavit
This is a sworn statement asking the court to waive the filing and service fees in your case due to poverty. If you are filing more than one case, a separate Poverty Affidavit is required for each case.
Complete the affidavit and have it notarized before presenting it for review. Bring the notarized affidavit, along with the completed and signed action (complaint, petition, etc.) you wish to file without paying the filing fee. You must also bring proof of income, such as pay stubs or unemployment stubs and copies of your bills.
Poverty Affidavits are heard each Friday at 2 p.m. in the Superior Court, 70 Haynes St., Courtroom 4400 (Fourth Floor). If you arrive after the appointed time, you will not be heard and will have to return on another Friday.
