Legal Acknowledgment Required
Pursuant to O.C.G.A. §§ 15-11-704, 15-11-708, and 15-11-630(f), I acknowledge that if my case is NOT an appeal of an Adjudication/Disposition Order, Termination of Parental Rights Order, Order transferring a delinquency case to Superior Court, or Order denying petition waiving parental notification of abortion after a timely filed Notice of Appeal, then a transcript is not mandated by law and the Court retains discretion to approve or deny this request.
If the Court approves a transcript in a case listed above, I will not be charged for the transcript if I have been determined to be an indigent. However, if the Court approves a transcript in a case NOT listed above, I may be required to pay for the transcript even if I have ben determined to be indigent. Prior to the release of a transcript from a Termination of Parental Rights case for appellate purposes, the Court may reassess my indigency status.
If the Court approves the transcript, payment for the transcript will be due upon approval. I must contact the court reporter for transcript costs and payment arrangements. Requests for the expedited preparation of transcripts wlill incur additional transcript fees.
To request a transcript, I must complete and submit this form to the Juvenile Court Judge's Office assigned to my case. If approved, the Judge's Office will forward my request to the court reporter.
