Who pays for the services of a court and a lawyer during a divorce?

Court services, i.e. the payment of the court fee is carried out by the person who applies to the court. A court fee of 0.4 times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons is paid for filing a divorce petition with the court.

However, I would like to inform you that if your claim is successful, the court fee paid by you will be returned at the expense of the defendant in the case.

As for the services of a lawyer, the costs for providing the latter with legal assistance are borne by the person who turned to the lawyer. However, if the claim is successful, it is also possible to return the money you paid for the provision of legal assistance by a lawyer, at the expense of the defendant in the case. For this, it is necessary to submit an appropriate application to the court, within the appropriate period, with the provision of evidence that confirms the costs incurred by you for the legal assistance received.
