Re: Divorce petition fee structure & charges

you need to hire a lawyer in ur locality and explain him the situation and ur poor condition. if you think that he is considerate enough, u may negotiate the fee. there is no set structure of fee.

Re: Divorce petition fee structure & charges

There is no fixed fee structure; however, litigation expenses involved in such cases are not much.

If you are a poor woman, you may approach the State Legal Services Authority of your area for getting free services of a lawyer.The SLSA provides lawyers from their panel and make them payment of fee on behalf of poor litigants from State funds.

Secondly, when you file a divorce petition, the court is also likely to award you 'litigation expenses' and interim maintenance which is to be paid by your husband.

If possible, try to reach an amicable settlement with your husband and avoid all expenses.
