Common court fees
From the New Jersey Judiciary's fee schedule (CN 11112). When we file for you, these are passed through at cost.
| Motion, Law Division Civil Part | $50 |
| Motion, Special Civil Part (regular civil cases) | $25 |
| Motion, Chancery Division General Equity | $50 |
| Restoring a dismissed or suppressed pleading (R. 4:23-5(a)(1)) | $100 restoration fee within 30 days, $300 after |
A motion that is the first paper you file in a case costs more. The judiciary's motion packet explains it.
Deadlines for motions
The judiciary's motion packet says the other side has to be served no later than 16 days before the motion date you ask for, and 28 days before for summary judgment.

Questions
Where do I file papers in a New Jersey Superior Court civil case?
At the Civil Division office in the county where the case is venued. The table lists each county's filing location from the judiciary's office pages and directories.
Can I file without going to the courthouse?
Self-represented litigants can file electronically through the judiciary's JEDS system, by mail, or in person. Attorneys file through eCourts in case types that are on it.
How do I pay a filing fee at the window?
The judiciary's motion packet says to pay by check or money order payable to "Treasurer, State of New Jersey". Card payments are for electronic filing through JEDS.
