WARNING

A pauper affidavit may be filed in lieu of Court costs; if granted, the provisional order must address costs, and the Court may require a non-pauper party in a dissolution matter to pay by the earlier of 60 days after filing or before the final hearing.

If a pauper affidavit is filed in lieu of Court costs, the attorney representing the party seeking pauper status shall attest on the affidavit that the attorney has made sufficient inquiry and that the attorney is of the opinion that the party requesting pauper status does qualify. In each case where a pauper affidavit has been filed and granted, the parties shall address the payment of costs in the provisional order. In a dissolution matter where one of the parties has the means to pay Court costs, the Court may require the non-pauper party to pay costs within sixty (60) days of the filing date or prior to the final hearing, whichever occurs earlier.
