Thanks Div. As much as I'd love to be rid of it, I really can't afford it. He's in NSW, I'm in WA. Marriage took place in NSW.

Sounds like it would be easier if we were to sign jointly if he does apply though? Saves one of us travelling to the other state if we need to attend. But if we signed jointly would I have to pay half?

I know its only a few hundred, but I'm struggling enough with no help from him at all.
