Find the exact divorce filing fee for all 29 Utah counties — and learn what additional fees to budget for.

Yes. If you can't afford the fee, you can file a Motion to Waive Fees (an affidavit of impecuniosity). If the court approves it, your $325 filing fee — and often other court costs — can be waived.
The $325 divorce filing fee is set at the state level, so it's the same across Utah's district courts. Optional extras — like certified copies of your decree — carry small additional charges.
You pay it at the moment you file your petition, either at the courthouse or through Utah's online filing system. Your case isn't officially opened until the fee is paid or a fee waiver is granted.
