The Missouri Affidavit in Support of Request to Proceed as a Poor Person is a legal document used by an individual in Missouri to request permission to proceed with a court case without having to pay court costs or other related fees. This document must be completed by the individual or their legal representative and filed with the court in order to request permission to proceed as a poor person. There are two types of Missouri Affidavit in Support of Request to Proceed as a Poor Person. The first is for those filing criminal cases, while the second is for those filing civil cases. Both affidavits must be completed in full and include information about the individual's financial situation, assets, and liabilities. The affidavit must also include a statement from the individual or their legal representative that they are unable to pay the court costs and related fees. Once the affidavit is completed and filed with the court, the court will review the information and determine whether the individual is eligible to proceed as a poor person. If approved, the individual will be allowed to proceed with their case without having to pay court costs or related fees.
