Relief from divorce court filing fees

Q: I am only on a CPP and disability Pension and Have three Kids and i am
really not able to afford to pay for a divorce although i have been
seperated from my wife since 1998. It would be nice to beable to get a
divorce so that i could remarry with my common law spouse some day. But as
i stated before i do not have the ability to pay for a divorce please if
there is anything or you know of anyway that i could get a divorce please
contact me it would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing or
receiving an email regarding this matter.

A: In some jurisdictions it is possible to apply to the court to waive the
court fees. That would leave you with the cost of having the divorce
documents prepared as your only cost. In some jurisdictions the legal aid
system will do your divorce for you but usually only after a long wait. You
should consult your local legal aid office about this.

We hope this is helpful.
