Fee Waiver Indigency in Kansas

In Kansas, whether a court will waive filing fees based on indigency is governed by a statutory and rule-based standard that requires the court to assess the applicant’s financial circumstances. The authority for this determination is found in K.S.A. § 60-2001(b) and Kansas Supreme Court Rule 172, which together set out the factors a court must consider when evaluating a fee waiver request. The official source at ksrevisor.gov provides the exact statutory language.
