Answer:
The court can require you to repay waived fees and costs if it determines your financial situation has improved. If you disagree with this order, you can request a hearing to contest it. You must file this request within thirty days from when you received the Order to Pay Waived Court Fees and Costs (Form FL-336). If you file in time, you won't have to pay the fees until the judge makes a decision after the hearing.
To request a hearing:
- Complete a Notice of Motion or an Order to Show Cause.
- Fill out an Application to Set Aside Order to Pay Waived Court Fees-Attachment and attach it to your Notice of Motion or Order to Show Cause.
- Make three copies of your forms.
- Submit your forms to the clerk, who will set a hearing date.
- Serve one copy of your forms to the other party, including a blank Responsive Declaration to Order to Show Cause or Notice of Motion.
- File a Proof of Service with the clerk.
Be sure to attend your hearing. If you do not, your request will be denied, and you will be required to pay the waived fees and costs.
