Fee Waiver Indigency in New Hampshire

New Hampshire courts determine indigency for fee waivers by applying the standards set out in N.H. Super. Ct. R. 3(h) and N.H. Cir. Ct. Dist. Div. R. 1.4. These rules specify the financial thresholds and documentation required to qualify for a waiver of filing fees and other court costs. The court evaluates the applicant’s income, assets, and expenses against the rule’s defined criteria, which are fully detailed in the official source. A verified figure for the calculation is provided in the rule itself. The worked example below demonstrates how the formula applies. For an estimate of your own eligibility, use the calculator.
