FL-337 is a California family court attachment form used when a party is requesting the court to set aside (cancel) an order requiring them to repay previously waived court fees. This form supports the main application and provides the detailed explanations the court needs in order to reconsider its earlier decision. If a person was ordered—usually through FL-336—to pay back filing fees, motion fees, or other waived court costs, FL-337 allows them to explain why that repayment order should be reversed or modified.

The form is typically used when the party’s financial circumstances have changed or when the original repayment order was made based on incorrect or incomplete information. Common reasons include loss of employment, reduced income, unexpected medical expenses, disability, or other financial hardships that make repayment impossible or unfair. FL-337 provides a space for the applicant to describe these changes and to attach documentation such as pay stubs, medical records, tax returns, or expense statements.

FL-337 also allows the applicant to argue that the original repayment order was issued in error—such as when the court misunderstood the party’s financial situation, miscalculated their ability to pay, or applied the fee waiver guidelines incorrectly. The applicant may also explain if they never actually received financial benefits that triggered repayment, or if the settlement or award the court relied on did not materialize. This helps the judge determine whether the repayment obligation should be lifted.

Because fee waivers are based on strict financial guidelines, the court must evaluate whether the applicant still qualifies for a waiver. FL-337 guides the applicant to provide both factual explanations and supporting evidence so the judge can make a fully informed decision. The court will review whether the applicant meets the income standards, whether their expenses exceed their income, and whether repayment would create an unreasonable financial burden.

In summary, FL-337 is an essential attachment for anyone seeking to set aside a court order requiring repayment of waived fees. It provides the detailed reasoning and evidence needed for the judge to determine whether the original order should be modified or canceled. When completed thoroughly and supported with documentation, FL-337 helps ensure that fee repayment obligations reflect the applicant’s true financial situation and comply with California’s fee waiver rules.
