If you don’t have sufficient funds, you can apply with the court to have the fee waived. If you are successful you would need to bring in that documentation to your session. You can use the offline payment option on our website to register.  

It is court mandated if you received a letter from the courts, so if a party doesn’t attend they will be in contempt of the order.
