You may wish to contact a family law attorney to assist you in tying up the divorce. If you do not wish pay the fee, you may proceed by means of a default judgment. The default will allow you to bypass payment of the response fee.

You are not "legally separated"; you are merely "separated" now. Under the circumstances, you should pay your wife's Response Fee if you want the divorce.
