Do you receive public assistance?
GOTO:2
How many people make up your household?
How much income does your household bring in per year in after tax dollars?
Are you facing a civil or criminal matter?
You probably qualify as indigent because you receive public assistance and are therefore below the poverty line.
Free Legal Service Programs.
You probably qualify as indigent since you earn less than 187.5% of the poverty line. See
NH RSA 499: 18-b and
Free Legal Service Programs. As a result, you may be eligible to have your court fees waived. Would you like to fill out a fee waiver form?
Awesome! Would you mind answering a few more questions so that I can generate the form for you?
What is your name
Thanks name. What Court are you filing with?
How much alimony do you collect annually? If you do not collect please write 0.
How much child support do you collect annually? If you do not collect please write 0.
Thanks name. Are you ready to save your doc?
GOTO:9
GOTO:8
Not a problem! If the form did not open for you in a new window/tab, you can find it
here. After you fill it out take it to court and give it to the clerk. Have a wonderful day.
GOTO:8
You probably qualify as indigent since you earn less than 187.5% of the poverty line. Therefore, the judge will likely find you eligible to be assigned counsel to represent you. See
NH RSA 604-A.
You probably qualify as indigent but able to contribute since you earn between 187.5% and 250% of the poverty line. So a judge will likely find you eligible to be assigned a lawyer but you will be asked to contribute towards the attorney fees. See
NH Admin Rule 47.
You probably won't qualify as indigent because you earn more than 187.5% of the poverty line. See
NH Admin Rule 47. Therefore, a judge will likely find you ineligible for appointed counsel, meaning you will probably need to hire an attorney for this matter. Would you like to search for one near you?
