QUESTION
What is his best option to reimburse filing fees?
Asked on Mar 31st, 2014 on Divorce - Washington
More details to this question:
I’m asking for my brother. His ex-wife filed for divorce in May 2013. The decree has now been ordered (March 2014). The judge ordered that he reimburse his ex-wife for half of the filing fees for the divorce IOA $87. He went to the clerk’s office and they informed it was paid in May 2013 therefore there’s nothing due. He is not sure at this point to mail a check to his ex-wife or to pay it through her attorney. He does not want communication with her at this point and she is very deceitful and often tries to find ways to get more money.

He should pay it through the Clerk's office for his former wife and mark in the memo section of the check what it is for.

Send her a check with a note in the memo line saying for reimbursement for filing fee. That should be the end of it.

First, read the court order carefully and make sure it doesn't give any more detail about how he is to pay. Next, contact her attorney by fax or email and ask for a written reply letting him know how he is to pay his reimbursement. Keep a copy of this request and the attorney's response and proof of the payment (the cancelled check with the endorsement on the back), just in case there is any problem later.
