About GOV.UK: Help with court fees

Help with Fees can reduce or cover court fees, including the divorce application fee, if you have little in savings and get certain benefits or have a low income. You can apply before you pay, or within 3 months of paying to get money back. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules.

How they can help

  • Check if you are eligible
  • Apply online before or after paying
  • Refunds for fees paid in the last 3 months
