Hawaii Ex Parte Application For Relief From Costs is a legal filing that can be used by an individual to request that the court waive or reduce court costs in a civil case. These applications are typically used in situations where an individual is unable to pay the full cost of filing a lawsuit or other civil action. The application must be accompanied by a showing of financial need and may include documentation such as pay stubs, bank statements, and tax returns. There are two types of Hawaii Ex Parte Applications for Relief from Costs: (1) an application for a waiver of costs; and (2) an application for a reduction of costs. A waiver of costs is a request that the court waive all filing fees, court costs, and other costs associated with the civil action. A reduction of costs is a request that the court reduce the filing fees, court costs, and other costs associated with the civil action.
