Can I pay by cash or cheque?
We do not accept cash although we can accept cheques made payable to ‘ExD Legal Services.’ Please note that, should you pay by cheque, Express Divorce will not carry out any work on your behalf until 24 hours after the money has cleared.
I’m on a low wage. Do I have to pay the court fee?
If you are using a traditional paper application, you will need to complete an EX160 form. In the case of online application, you will need to apply for an exemption online and obtain a ‘Help with Fees’ (HWF) reference code.
Both the form and online application can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-help-with-court-and-tribunal-fees
The online application is much quicker. If you are applying for an exemption with a traditional paper application, you should factor in the likely delay of several weeks.
There is often very little we can do to hurry the court along when it comes to decisions regarding court fees. Sometimes, applicants can find the money from family or friends to pay the fees up front AND recover it from the court at a later date. Please bear in mind that you have a maximum of 3 months after the date of the final order to request a fee refund.
When do I pay the court fee?
We ask you to transfer the court fee to us several days before we issue the application. Of course, you have the option to pay the court fees when you first order your divorce service.
