Hi, excemption from fees is based on firstly whether you get qualifying benefits - Income support etc.

If not, you can still be exempt but it is based on household income - for a couple with 1 child your gross income has to be below about £18k. If you search google for HMCS EX160A you should find detailed guidance so you can see if you are exempt from the £150 court fee. Regardless you will have to pay the OR fee of £335.

Hope this helps
