Did you know...

If you have a judgment in your favor against someone, it has to be renewed in order to remain valid.  The old law required judgments to be renewed every 5 years.  The law recently changed (October 1, 2018) that judgments after that date must be renewed every 10 years.

If you qualify, you can ask the Courts for a waiver or deferral of your Court filing fees.  The Superior Court (family law and civil litigation) have forms for this request.  The Superior Court (family law) rarely grants a full waiver, but it does consider deferral applications.  Let ABDP know if you feel you might qualify for this benefit.
