Louisiana In Form Paupers (Pauper Application) is a type of legal form that allows an individual or party to proceed with a lawsuit without having to pay the requisite court costs and fees. This is done on the basis that the person is unable to pay for such costs due to financial hardship. This form is available to both plaintiffs and defendants, and is typically filed with the court at the time of filing the initial petition or complaint. There are two types of Louisiana In Form Paupers (Pauper Application): the Regular Pauper and the Indigent Pauper. The Regular Pauper is for individuals who do not have sufficient income or assets to pay court costs and fees, while the Indigent Pauper is for those who lack the financial resources to even pay the court costs and fees associated with the Regular Pauper. Both require the filing of an affidavit of poverty, which must be signed and notarized, as well as a financial statement indicating the applicant's inability to pay court costs and fees.
