The costs of divorce litigation are paid to the court. According to relevant regulations, the costs of divorce litigation are generally paid in advance by the plaintiff and borne by the losing party. The plaintiff filed a lawsuit for divorce with the court. When the court made a decision to accept the case, it also notified the plaintiff to pay the costs of the lawsuit in advance. Finally, the court determined the proportion of the costs to be borne by the party suing for divorce and the size of the responsibilities of both parties according to the principle of "the party suing for divorce shall pay in advance, and the losing party shall bear". If the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit after paying the litigation costs, the people's court will only refund 50% of the litigation costs.
