North Carolina Divorce Cost and Filing Fees

Know which charges go to the court and which go to document preparation before you start.

Check If I Qualify No account required to check eligibility

DivorceReady prepares self-help documents; it does not file them or provide legal advice. Court and third-party fees are separate.

What you may need to pay

Budget separately for the court filing fee, service or waiver-related charges, copies, and optional document preparation. Fees depend on the filing court and can change; confirm the current total with that court before filing.

DivorceReady versus court costs

DivorceReady charges for document preparation, not court filing or service. Review the current preparation price and payment terms on our pricing page. The court or its approved provider collects filing charges separately.
