Hi Jennifer, Yes there are specific guidelines. The clerk of court makes the determination as to eligibility, and if you are denied you have the right to a hearing before a judge. The basis for the clerk's determination are found in Florida Statute 57.082. You can find more information about Civil Indigent Status and download the form on our site.
