You can ask the court to waiver additional fees, like the jury, witness, or court interpreter fees, not covered by your fee waiver.

In most cases, you have to pay a fee to file papers with the court. If you can’t afford the filing fee, you can ask the court for a “fee waiver” in order to file for free. With a fee waiver, you also may not have to pay for certified copies, sheriff's service of process fees, or other costs related to starting a case, such as the cost for a court

The court will not grant a fee waiver if your form is incomplete or if the court reviewed your information and initially decided you don't qualify. The papers you filed will be on hold for now.
