How much does it cost to file a custody petition?
A fee of $25 is generally required for filing either a
custody or visitation petition in court.*
There may be an additional fee for serving the other parent with the
custody papers, which is usually done by a sheriff, third party, or process
server.
If you cannot afford the filing fee, you may be
able to have the fee waived. Under
Virginia law, if you are unable to afford the fees and costs related to your
case because you have a low-income, a court can order that you don’t have to
pay.** You can ask the clerk of court
for more information about how to do this when you file your petition.
