Reopening fee

The $50 reopening fee is not paid for specified Title IV-D child-support motions, but is charged for later child-support, custody, or visitation motions brought by private counsel or pro se unless the motion is in forma pauperis.

Pursuant to FORPP 14(1), a $50.00 reopening fee shall not be paid for motions in cases brought pursuant to Title IV-D of the Social Security Act for child support modification or enforcement. However, where an action is initiated pursuant to Title IV-D but subsequent motions regarding child support, custody or visitation are brought by a private attorney or are filed by a party pro se, rather than by Title IV-D counsel, the fee shall be charged unless the motion is brought in forma pauperis.
