Fee

$50

Applies to

Motion to modify decree

A $50 fee is due for a qualifying post-decree modification motion, except for Title IV-D child-support-enforcement motions; the clerk collects the fee when the motion is filed unless the movant files an in-forma-pauperis motion.

Pursuant to FCRPP 3(5), a fee of $50.00 shall be paid by the movant in domestic relations cases reopened after six months from the entry of the decree for the purpose of modifying the decree. This does not include motions in 42 U.S.C. Title IV-D cases for child support enforcement. The clerk shall collect any fee upon the filing of the motion, unless the movant files a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

WARNING

Motion to enforce order

The fee is not required for a motion to enforce an order if the motion is titled as an enforcement motion.
