Recovering court fees

Hi!
I have received my "Certificate of entitlement to a decree" (Woo Hoooo!!) and my husband has been ordered he "pays the costs of the Petitioner"

I am wondering how I go about recovering those costs, I only want the court fees covered..
Is there more paperwork I need to fill in?

Thanks

Congratulations and good luck for your future Wendy!!

Re the costs...first port of call would be to send an itemised invoice/request for payment...ensure proof of postage and include a reasonable time frame to pay.

Thank you for your reply:)

So I just send that directly to him? I dont go through the courts at this point?
Also...what is considered a reasonable time frame?

Many Thanks:side:

If he has a sol send this to his sol...otherwise direct to him...you have to allow him time to pay/come up with an offer to pay/refuse to pay....going to court should be a last resort....time frames...depending on amount and ability....14 or 30 days are considered norm.

If you get really stuck and he isn't playing ball you can use moneyclaim online (just google it) It is a simple online service through the courts and does not require you to contact him directly.

Thanks for everyones response, I have currently sent out an invoice as advised, and have given him 14 days to respond/pay. I am yet to hear anything from him, so wondered what would be the next step? We've been issued our Decree Nisi now, so really want this done and dusted asap.
He doesnt make anything easy and im sure will object even paying the court fees. But i really dont want to be taking him to court over about £350.
Any futher advice would be appreciated:)

Many Thanks:

Whilst nearing the end of the process I have just received a letter from ex's solicitor demanding the costs.I agreed to this to get the whole thing over and done with. A fraction over a grand. They want it in one lump, my view is split it into equal monthly payments. Can they refuse this offer. Thank you.
