Fee waivers in guardianships and conservatorships
When you file papers to start a guardianship or conservatorship case, you pay a filing fee. There are also fees for an investigation and certified copies of court forms. There may be other fees later in your case.
 
You can ask the court for a “fee waiver” so you do not pay these fees. When you ask for the fee waiver, the court will look at the income and ability to pay of the child (in a guardianship) or the proposed conservatee (in a conservatorship). If the court gives you a fee waiver, you do not have to pay the filing fee, costs of the investigation, and other fees.

When to ask for a fee waiver
Designating the Record – California Appellate Courts
The respondent uses form APP-011 to designate an appendix.
If the appellant requests a clerk’s transcript and a respondent files a designation for an appendix, then all parties must proceed with an appendix unless the appellant was granted a fee waiver for a clerk’s transcript. This is true even if the appellant chose another option first.

How much does it cost? If a joint appendix is prepared, either the appellant pays or the parties agree on how to share the cost. If separate appendixes are filed, then each party pays for their own appendix.
How do the parties get a copy? The party who prepares an appendix must a serve a copy of the appendix on all the other parties in the case.
Learn more about an appendix
Read California Rule of Court 8.124 on the requirements for an appendix
Whole Trial Court File
What is it? The whole trial court file includes all the documents of a case, in chronological order, just as the trial court clerk keeps them.
What are the advantages? This is the quickest and cheapest method for getting the trial court documents to the Court of Appeal. The trial court clerk numbers the pages of the documents and creates an index – or list – of all the documents.
What are the rules? The appellant can only designate the whole trial court file if local rules allow it. Only certain Courts of Appeal accept the whole trial court file instead of a clerk’s transcript. The second, fifth, and sixth appellate districts do not allow the parties to use the whole trial court file. In all other districts, all the parties to the case must have a written agreement to use the whole trial court file. The agreement must be filed with the notice designating the record on appeal form.
What can the respondent do? All parties must agree to use the whole trial court file instead of a clerk’s transcript. If the appellant cannot get all parties to agree, then the court will not permit the appellant to use the whole trial court file.
How much does it cost? The appellant pays for the trial court clerk to prepare and send the whole trial court file to the Court of Appeal.
Fee waivers in guardianships and conservatorships | California Courts | Self Help Guide
Fee waivers expire 60 days after the case is finished (judgment entered, dismissal, or final decision by the judge).  They can also end if the court finds the child or conservatee no longer qualifies for the fee waiver. 
Parent or other relative: Keep in mind that if you're a parent or other relative filing papers in a guardianship or conservatorship case and you can't afford to pay the filing fees, the judge will decide whether to wave your filing fees based on your income. You will also need to ask the court for a fee waiver on different forms because you're a parent or relative in a guardianship or conservatorship case. Click here to to ask the court for a fee waiver if you're a parent or other relative filing papers in a guardianship or conservatorship case.
If you're the petitioner in a guardianship or conservatorship case, you qualify for a fee waiver if the child or conservatee:

Receives public benefits.
For example, if they receive unemployment, Medi-Cal, Food Stamps (Cal Fresh/SNAP), WIC, Cal-WORKS, General Assistance, SSI, SSP, Tribal TANF, IHSS, or CAPI. You also qualify if the child's parent or conservatee's spouse receives one of these benefits. You will need to list which benefit they receive and who receives the benefit to qualify.

Has a household income, before taxes, below a set amount.
The set amount is listed on Form FW-001-GC in item 8b. The amount depends on the number of people in the household. You will need to give the court information about household size and income. Do not include any proposed guardian or conservator in the household size and do not count their income (unless they are the spouse of the proposed conservatee).

Can't meet their household's basic needs and pay the filing fees. 
You will need to give the court information about their income and expenses to qualify this way.
The Superior Court of California - County of Ventura - Criminal/Traffic Division
This appeal must be filed within 30 
 days after the mailing of the final decision of the issuing agency. Forms are available in the Forms section of this web site. 
 You must pay a $25 filing fee to the court as outlined in Section 40230 of the California Vehicle Code.

 for their vehicle at all times and provide it to any peace officer upon demand.
Your courtesy notice will reflect the amounts due for the scenarios listed below.

You had insurance at the time you received a traffic ticket but the proof of insurance was not in the vehicle.

Mail a copy (in the envelope provided with your courtesy notice) or bring your insurance policy or insurance card showing the effective dates of 
 coverage to the clerkâs office.
Include a check in the amount of $25.00 made out to the Ventura Superior Court. 

You bought insurance after you received the traffic ticket.

Calendaring Information

	 To schedule your case for an appearance in court, contact the clerk’s office at 805-289-8545 or visit the walk up window.
You must appear in court on or before your due date if your courtesy notice indicates that a MANDATORY APPEARANCE is required.
Appeals: Sacramento Superior Court

The Clerk's Transcript is a compilation of the documents filed in the trial 
 court. In criminal appeals, the Clerk's Transcript will include those documents 
 required by the California Rules of Court. In civil appeals, you must designate 
 each document you want included by its title and filing date. If the filing date 
 is not known, the date the document was signed may be used instead.

 The superior court clerk will send the parties a 
 bill for the cost of preparing the Clerk's Transcript. The appellant is 
 responsible for paying for the appellate court's copy as well as his own copy. 
 The respondent may buy a copy of the transcript, but is not obligated to do so. 
 Costs must be paid within 10 days or the appeal may be dismissed. (There is no 
 charge for preparing the Clerk's Transcript in felony and death penalty 
 appeals.)
Reporter's Transcript

 A Reporter's Transcript is a written record (often called the verbatim record) 
 of the oral proceedings in the trial court. A reporter's transcript is not 
 required but is usually necessary. In felony and death penalty appeals, the 
 Reporter's Transcript will include those hearing dates required by the 
 California Rules of Court. In all other appeals, you must designate each date to 
 be included.

 With the notice designating the Reporter's 
 Transcript, you must deposit the approximate cost of transcribing the 
 proceedings designated. The cost may be obtained from the reporter's written 
 estimate or calculated at $650 per day (more than three hours of court time) or 
 $325 per fraction of a day (less than three hours of court time). If you have 
 been granted a waiver of court fees and costs, you must still pay the Reporter's 
 Transcript costs or motion the court for a free copy of the transcript. Pursuant to
 Government Code section 70632/California Rule of Court 8.130(b)(1): the Court will
 charge a $50.00 fee to cover trial court costs associated with administering a trust
 account for payment of a reporter's transcript in a civil appeal.
