Divorce Filing Fee Waiver by State (2026)
Can't afford to file for divorce? Select your state to learn how to apply for an IFP fee waiver and get the court fee reduced or eliminated.
What Is an IFP Fee Waiver?
An In Forma Pauperis (IFP) waiver lets low-income people file court cases — including divorce — without paying the standard filing fee. Every state offers this. Income thresholds vary but are typically set at 125%–200% of the federal poverty level. If you receive public benefits like Medicaid, SNAP, or SSI, you likely qualify automatically.
