Practice question
A motion states only the applicant’s take-home pay after optional loan deductions. It seeks automatic exemption under Rule 141 without addressing immediate-family gross income. What correction is needed?
- Delete the income allegation entirely.
- Ignore all family income because deductions determine the rule.
- Multiply the applicant’s net pay by the filing fee.
- Supply the relevant gross-income and immediate-family facts instead of relying solely on net take-home pay.
- Substitute the opposing lawyer’s estimate without an affidavit.
