அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்
Can I get the filing fee back if I win?
In many cases, yes. The court can order the losing party to reimburse filing fees and court costs as part of the judgment, but collection is your responsibility.
What is in forma pauperis?
It is a fee waiver for people who cannot afford court filing fees. You submit an application showing your income is at or below 125–150% of the federal poverty level.
