The filing fee is due and payable at the time of filing REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CROSS-APPEAL IS LATER DISMISSED VOLUNTARILY OR ADVERSELY.ORDERED, appellee/cross-appellant shall pay the $295.00 filing fee or file the circuit court clerk's determination of indigent status in this court within ten (10) days from the date of the entry of this order.

The attorney filing the notice of cross-appeal has a duty to tender the filing fee to the appellate court when the cross-appeal is initiated. See In Re Payment of Filing Fees, 744 So. 2d 1025 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997). Failure of the attorney to pay will result in referral to the Department of Financial Services for collection.
