The cost of divorce in Nepal depends on the work required for the case. Separate official court charges from document expenses, professional fees and any property or child-related work. Request a written quotation that states what is included and what may be charged separately.
Divorce in Nepal is governed by the Muluki Civil Code of 2074.
How can you manage divorce costs?
Agreement on the disputed issues can reduce the work required, but it does not guarantee a fixed cost or completion time. Official charges and professional fees should be explained separately.
Ask which steps you can handle yourself and which need professional assistance. Before attending or filing independently, confirm the instructions and deadlines for the case.
What is the Fee Structure of Divorce in Nepal?
The fee structures of the divorce process in Nepal are as follows:
The Civil Procedure Code text linked by the Law Commission lists NPR 500 as a lump-sum court fee for divorce under section 70(1). That amount is not a complete professional-service package or every possible charge in a case. Ask for document, representation, hearing and related-claim costs to be itemised, and confirm their current official basis where applicable.
Official reference: Civil Procedure Code, court fees

Conclusion
Before engaging assistance, ask for the scope, exclusions, payment stages and validity of the quotation. Clarify how extra hearings, property claims, document delivery or representation from abroad may affect the cost.
