    Nice spot, OP. Back in the day I did my own (very simple & uncontested) divorce from a book. My only costs were the notary for an oath & registered post for sending some forms.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    You still have to pay court fee's of £340 plus whatever it is for the decree absolute. The £17.00 is for them completing the forms, which you can do yourself for free!

    themull is quite right, the £17 is just a fee for a service you don't need anyway so not quite the 'bargain' it first appears!
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    I tried an online divorce to do it cheaply before I realised I would have to pay the court fee and was unaware I was entitled to Legal Aid. Any change or mistake was charged for. I PERSONALLY wouldn't do this. Look for professional help and feel secure you have done it properly.
    Sadly, you don't have any badges yet but keep trying! See what you could get........... oh boo hoo I am crying into my wine. :D

    Hduk are now sending this out and state that court fees are now an additional £67 only ! Hope that helps x

    My partner was able to speak to an employee at his local courthouse who deals with divorces and got her help to fill in the form - for free! :) She couldn't give advice obviously, but helped us understand the legal jargon!

    But still have to pay court fees :(

    It is very simple and easy to divorce using the direct gov website to guide you. DO NOT pay any company to fill out forms which are straightforward to complete with the guidance from the website.
