Wisconsin Fee Waiver Instructions (Dane Clerk of Court) allow individuals to request a waiver of court fees related to civil court proceedings. The waiver is available to individuals who cannot afford to pay the court fees associated with filing a civil lawsuit. The waiver application must be filed with the Dane County Clerk of Court. The application includes a form to be completed by the applicant, as well as supporting documents that must be provided. The documents must demonstrate that the applicant is unable to pay the court fees. The waiver is available in two types: an emergency waiver and a temporary waiver. An emergency waiver is available for those who need to file an emergency petition or motion. A temporary waiver is available to those who cannot afford the fees associated with filing a civil lawsuit. The types of documents required for each waiver type vary. The Dane County Clerk of Court reviews the application and documents before deciding to grant the waiver. If the waiver is approved, the court may waive all or part of the court fees associated with the filing.
