When you divorce, you need to pay the court a fee. This money is used by His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) to maintain the system, ensuring it’s properly funded with enough resources to keep up with the demands of people seeking divorce.

What do you need to know?

The main most important point is that the cost of divorce / civil partnership dissolution is set to increase to £652 from £593, with this change taking place in Spring 2024, most likely in April or May.

What Does This Mean For You?

This increase means most divorcing couples will need to pay a larger court fee to get their divorce finalised. But this doesn’t mean there aren’t things that can’t be done to make things a little easier financially.
