Filing Fees

October 18, 2009

The current fee for filing for divorce in the Los Angeles Superior Court is $350.00.    Once you file your petition for dissolution of marriage, the other spouse has to pay $350.00 himself or herself, to respond to your petition for dissolution.

These fees will change from time to time due to bad economy.  The court system is constantly increasing the filing fees to make up for the budget cuts and poor economy in the State of California.
