Title
Relating to marital and domestic relations; to amend Section 30-5-5, Code of Alabama 1975, to further provide for exemption from court costs and fees for certain actions related to protection orders.
Description

Under existing law, a party filing a document in court such as a petition or motion is generally required to pay court costs and filing fees. Existing law exempts a person who petitions a court for a protection from abuse order from having to pay these court costs or filing fees. However, there is no exemption for persons who, after being granted a protection order, file a motion for contempt against a person violating the protection order

This bill would exempt a person filing a motion for contempt of a previously ordered protection from abuse judgment from having to pay court costs and filing fees

Relating to marital and domestic relations; to amend Section 30-5-5, Code of Alabama 1975, to further provide for exemption from court costs and fees for certain actions related to protection orders.
