Advisory Committee Comment

Minnesota Statutes § 357.021, subdivision 2 (2000), establishes the various fees that must be charged and collected by court administrators. Specifically included is a filing fee, which is to be charged and collected from a party upon the filing of that party's first paper in the proceeding. Also included is a modification fee, which is to be paid upon the filing of a motion to modify support and upon the filing of a response to such a motion.

Advisory Committee Comment-2023 Amendments

Rule 356.01 is modified in 2023 to require an approved fee waiver or payment of fees 7 days prior to a hearing to allow court staff time to remove cases from the calendar that are not going to be able to proceed due to failure of payment.
