Will I have to pay a fee?

You may have to pay a court fee. Please read the Information on Family Fees, which lists the most common family fees.

You can pay the fee by cash, postal order or cheque. Make your cheque or postal order payable to HMCS. Please note that courts cannot accept payment by debit or credit cards.

Your financial situation may mean you do not have to pay a fee. The guidance Court Fees - do I have to pay them? provides further information on this. Court staff can also provide you with a copy of this guidance and the application form. You will have to make a separate application for each fee that you would otherwise have to pay.
