FEE INFORMATION
The fee for both the online and in-person class is $65 per person.
CASA may waive the fee for any individual who is receiving assistance from Colorado Legal Services and can present a Certification of Determination of Indigency (JDF 203) signed by a Colorado Legal Services attorney to receive a waiver, or any individual with a Finding and Order Concerning Payment of Filing Fees (JDF 206) signed by the Court which waives his/her filing fee.
Forms JDF 203 & JDF 206 can be obtained here.
If an individual cannot obtain a JDF 206 or JDF 203, then CASA MAY grant a waiver of payment on a case-by-case basis. To be considered for a CASA waiver, the individual must be able to show at least ONE of the following proofs of documentation with the individual’s name and a current date listed: Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, TANF, or Colorado Works. This documentation can either be brought to the CASA office or emailed to cfit@casappr.org for consideration.
