Type In Legal Virginia DUI Forms For Free

The ?Petition for Proceeding in Civil Case Without Payment of Fees or Costs? is a form that allows a person who has little income (or who has very high expenses) to ask a Virginia court to ?waive? (which means ?not require?) the fees associated with civil court actions.

Five days' notice is required to the opposing party and the court. Motions may be typed by either party, may be filed on the General Notice and Motion Form or may be filed on one of the appropriate forms provided by the Supreme Court of Virginia (located here).

To file this lawsuit, you must go to the General District Court Clerk's office. Ask for the proper court form. To sue for money, fill out a "Warrant in Debt." Even though this court form is called a "warrant," it is not used in a criminal case. It is used in a civil (non-criminal) case.

Failure to timely pay fines, costs and/or penalties may result in the Court issuing a show cause summons or capias for the arrest of the Defendant AND upon a finding of guilt the Court may impose up to 60 days in jail for the Defendant to serve and/or a $500.00 fine.

If your lawsuit is for more than $200, the filing fee is $26, plus $12 for each person or business you are suing. If your lawsuit is for $200 or less, the filing fee is $21, plus $12 for each person or business you are suing. If you win, the judgment will include your filing and service fees.

1. For filing a notice of appeal or initiating any matter under the original jurisdiction of the court, $50 payable by check or money order to the Clerk of the Court of Appeals. Twenty-five dollars of each fee collected under this section shall be apportioned to the Courts Technology Fund established under § 17.1-132.
