Fee Waiver Indigency in Nebraska

Nebraska law allows a court to waive filing fees and other costs for a civil litigant who demonstrates indigency, meaning they are unable to pay the fees without depriving themselves or their dependents of basic necessities. The procedure and standards are governed by Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 25-2301 to 25-2310, and the definition of indigency is set out in § 25-2301.01. The statute provides a process for the applicant to submit financial information, and the court then applies the statutory factors to determine eligibility. The official source at the Nebraska Legislature website contains the exact statutory language, including the factors and any applicable formula.
