Filing fees

In most states, a filing fee is only needed when you are starting a new court case. If you are filing an answer, motion, or other document in an existing court case, no fee is required. If you cannot afford to pay the fee, you can ask the court for permission to not pay it. Filing fees in Vermont vary by case type, and you may request a fee waiver.
