My ex divorced me on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour after she committed adultery.

The Decree Nisi stated that I had to pay her the court fees.

I am on benefits and so exempted from said court fees so do I have to pay her?

As an aside; I am sure she never actually paid them anyway as she would have also been exempt.

The exemption applies to the person paying them to the court.

The court order is for you to reimburse your ex for the costs that she has incurred therefore the exemption does not apply to you.

It therefore follows that if your ex was exempt from paying the fees, you do not have to reimburse her for these.

Any solicitor''s fees that your ex incurred in divorcing you will also be payable by you.
