Reduce the court filing fees for filing a divorce application
Reduce the fee for filing a divorce with HMCTS from £593 to £493 to reflect the decrease in work required to process a divorce following digitisation.
The Government is proposing to raise court fees by an average 10% which includes fees on divorce applications from £593 to £652. The service has now been digitised. Therefore, the amount of work required to process a divorce has drastically reduced. People going through relationship breakdown should not be subsiding the rest of the court system.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
