What are the court fees to file for divorce in New York?
When filing for a divorce in New York, the court charges $335 in court fees, plus an additional $35 if a Marital Settlement Agreement is filed.
To help cover the cost of operating the court system, the court charges fees which it collects when certain documents are filed. These charges are commonly referred to as "court fees" or "court filing fees."
If you cannot afford to pay the court fees you can file an application with the court for a fee waiver.
The court charges the same amount for its fees regardless of whether you file your own divorce, use an online divorce service, or hire an attorney or paralegal to prepare your documents and file your divorce for you.
Below is a comprehensive breakdown of these fees, along with important details every divorcing couple in New York should know. To obtain an uncontested divorce (also called a "dissolution of marriage") in New York State, you must file certain documents with the appropriate court. A judge will review your paperwork and, if everything is in order, grant the divorce.
Pro Tip:
Whether you hire anyone to prepare your divorce papers and/or to file them with the court, or you do it yourself, you will be required to pay court fees, unless you file a request for a waiver of the court fees and it is granted.
Unfortunately, many providers of divorce services do not clearly disclose that filing fees are required unless waived.
Some only mention the initial New York court fee of $210 to assign an Index Number when
the case is first filed, but fail to explain that additional court fees must also be paid.
Even worse, some providers bury this important information in the fine print on their website. As a result, their customers are often surprised later when they learn they must pay additional court filing fees.
At LetsGetDivorced.com, we are 100% transparent about our service fee and the court's fees. Customers know the total cost upfront and can trust that there are no unexpected charges.
