In deference to the people of the Diocese of Portland who subsidize the Tribunal, we ask Petitioners who avail themselves of this service to pay a fee. The present fee of $450.00 (formal case) is a small portion of the actual cost of Tribunal services.
The fee may be paid at any time during the process in full or by installments adjusted to the financial situation of the Petitioner. Inability to pay all or part of the fee will in no way influence the decision of the Tribunal.
