The fee to lodge your Application for Divorce in the Federal Magistrates court is $550.

If you do not qualify for a fee exemption you may be able to apply for the fee to be waived on the basis of financial hardship.

For approval for a fee to be waived you will need to show via this form that your income, day-to-day living expenses, liabilities and assets are at such a level that payment of the fee would cause you financial hardship.
