Czy opłata sądowa to pełny koszt rozwodu?

Nie. Opłata od pozwu to tylko jeden element, a łączny koszt zależy m.in. od pełnomocnika, dowodów i dodatkowych roszczeń.

Czy adwokat jest obowiązkowy?

Nie. Możesz działać samodzielnie, ale przy sporze (dzieci, majątek) pełnomocnik bywa praktycznie potrzebny.

Czy można dostać zwolnienie od kosztów?

Tak. Przy niskich dochodach można złożyć wniosek o częściowe lub pełne zwolnienie od kosztów sądowych.
