respondent to pay court fees?

I am wanting to divorce my husband for unreasonable behaviour, do I have to pay the court fees aswell as the divorce papers or does he pay the court fees?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

I divorced my ex on the same grounds and we both had to pay our own solicitors/court/barristers fees. Don''t know if this is the norm but I couldn''t get him to pay my fees!

In relation to the divorce process only, it is possible for the Petitioner to claim costs from the respondent on petitions based on unreasonable behaviour or adultery. ''Costs'' in this context includes court fees, solicitor''s fees (if you are using one) and third party fees (disbursements) such as bailiff/process server, marriage certificate fee, marriage certificate translation fee and oath fee.

In relation to finances and children proceedings, the starting point is that each party bear their own costs.

I claimed costs on the grounds of adultery and the court ordered stbx to pay my costs. Not yet finished divorce so not received anything yet and sol says getting them to pay may be easier said than done.

Too true, an order for costs is not the same as costs paid. And an order for costs does not let you off the hook with your solicitor - you pay them and either instruct them to recover costs from the respondent (at a costs of course) or pursue these yourself.

I was planning on using quickiedivorce. I spoke to someone briefly on the phone yesterday, but she seemed rushed in telling me about the court fees, which threw me off.
I have many examples of my husbands ''unreasonable behaviour'', and if there were an option for having him pay the fees, I''m almost certain he would have to.

Before you use any Internet service check out who they are, do they use solicitors?, are they qualified?, just be careful, a solicitor service, fine, if not go it alone, as far as I know only Wikivorce provides a solicitor managed service bar the co-op.
