Yep, you read it right. I heard a rumor the fees may go up and again. Sure enough, I guess the increase from last October wasn't enough. When I read the proposed fee changes, I about fell out of my chair when I saw some of the increase amounts as well as some of the things they want to start charge for:
$15.00 to file an A&P Summons
$20.00 to file ANY civil Motion
$30.00 to serve papers by the Sheriff (up from $15.00)
$130.00 to file a counterclaim or crossclaim
$20.00 for each Motion? $130.00 for a counterclaim?
If you would like to see a complete list, a local paper (the News and Record) put this nice link on their website. The court fees are on pages 5 and 6. From what I have read, if these changes are made law, the will become effective July 1, 2011. You can keep up with the status of the changes by visiting the legislature's website, the budget information is on the home page.
