Fee Waiver

If you feel you cannot pay the required fees for initiating or appearing in a District Court proceeding, you may fill out a Statement of Inability to Pay.

It must be approved by a District Court Judge before your fees will be waived. 

The form is available at the Clerk of District Court's office or you can download it at https://courts.mt.gov/Forms/. Scroll down to Fee Waiver.  The downloaded form can be filled out on-line and printed or it can be printed and filled out by hand.
