The Louisiana In Form Paupers Application is a form used by individuals in Louisiana who cannot afford to pay the court fees associated with filing a petition in court. It is also known as the 'poverty affidavit'. The application must be completed and signed by the petitioner, and it must contain a detailed description of the petitioner's financial circumstances. If approved, the court may waive or reduce the filing fees for the petitioner. There are two types of Louisiana In Form Paupers Applications: the Regular Application and the Summary Application. The Regular Application requires a more detailed description of the petitioner's financial situation, including income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. The Summary Application is a shorter form that requires less financial information but is not as comprehensive as the Regular Application.
