With immediate effect, the Departments of Crime and Domestic Violence (DV) and the Family Relations Division (DRB) of the Family Court are implementing a process for the centralized delivery of emergency requests and other notifications, so that we receive all significant submissions during the period of reduction of operations. Q6: What are the options for paying court and e-filing fees? Will the money be paid in advance or at the time of e-filing? Applicants can pay online per transaction with a credit or debit card (MC, Visa, Discover, AmEx) when the transaction is submitted via CaseFileXpress. In addition, applicants who meet the registration requirements and a loan application can sign up for fixed billing and receive a monthly invoice. Q2: Does File & ServeXpress charge for an electronic filing rejected by the court? No. Electronic filings rejected by the Clerk will not be assessed at a CaseFileXpress or court fees. If your submission is rejected, you must resubmit it as soon as possible, your rejected submission will not be added to the watch list. You can ask the court to waive it by filing an application for an advance of costs. This is also known as the procedure in forma pauperis or IFP. You can obtain the required briefs (legal documents) at www.dcbar.org/pleadings or at the D.C. Superior Family Court Central Reception Center (500 Indiana Avenue NW, Room JM-540), which is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. The fees for all items not listed above are the same as those set out in the Fee Schedule for Cases under Civil Rule 202 of the Supreme Court. Q2: Can I correct an electronic filing submitted with the wrong type of document? A: If your profile (user ID) allows the registrar to change your document type, the court clerk`s office can/will correct the document type for you. To make sure you are set up so that the clerk can change your document type, edit your CaseFileXpress profile as follows: Go to your account under dc.casefilexpress.com/Login.aspx, enter your CaseFileXpress user ID and password, click “Edit Profile” and check the “Allow Clerk to change” box. Q11: What is the procedure for filing subpoenas electronically? A: The cost of filing a complaint is $120.00, regardless of the number of initial subpoenas requested. For each additional assignment (“alias assignment”) requested after the first citation has been filed, a fee of $10.00 will be charged. If additional assignments (alias assignments) are required, you can file a subsequent filing by selecting the document type that corresponds to the number of required assignments. NOTE: The Committee`s general consensus is that these fees are in many ways consistent with those provided for in Supreme Court Civil Rule 202. The fee schedule used in Unless otherwise specified by the judge, applications that expire from December 9, 2019 will remain in the hands of the “outgoing” judge. The new judge must receive all observations relating to applications that will be mature after that date. Q3: What documents must be filed electronically when filing a complaint? A: You must upload the complaint in this order (first page first); Exhibitions; Invocation forms when you have them; Fact sheet (form to be completed on the court`s website).
NOTE: Only a copy of a subpoena must be uploaded. Q17: How do I get a waiver? A: You still have to go to court because this is a JIC process that needs to be granted. Once granted, you can submit your new file electronically and select the document type “Cancelled Fees”. You must have already prepared the brief you wish to file (e.g. Your complaint or request), because you must submit it to the judge with your request for notice without advance payment of fees. You must have the fee waiver approved before filing your brief, as the court will not refund the filing fee if you receive the waiver after you file your brief. Accept your request and ask the Office of the Chamber Judge (Superior Court of D.C., room 4220). Usually, the judge makes a decision on the same day, but you may have to wait a few hours if the judge is busy. You can make your application at the very beginning of your case, when you file your first argument. But even if you pay the fee the first time, you can still apply later if you find that you can`t pay any additional fees or costs.
The maximum file size is 30 megabytes (MB). If your submission is larger than 30 MB (total size of all documents combined), you will need to divide your submission into segments of 30 MB or smaller and submit multiple submissions (see instructions below for submitting multiple submissions). During the download process in step 2, our system calculates and displays your total number of pages and storage size when you upload your documents.
