Family and inheritance matters are non-value-ascertainable (neprocenjivi) on the lawyer side, so they take flat point awards under Tar. br. 14 (family) and Tar. br. 23 (probate) rather than the value scale. On the court side, marital-status and family matters carry a fixed notional value of 20.000 RSD (čl. 27 tač. 8), which resolves to a small fixed court fee, while probate is a discretionary lump-sum the court sets between two statutory bounds. Maintenance claimants are categorically exempt from the court fee (čl. 9 st. 1).
Divorce (razvod braka)
Dissolution of marriage (razvod braka) before the basic court, whether by mutual consent or contested. The lawyer award is a flat point figure regardless of the spouses’ assets; the court fee derives from the statutory notional value attached to marital-status disputes.
You file it when a marriage is to be ended through the courts — either a joint petition or a contested suit by one spouse.
Lawyer fee — Tar. br. 14. A flat 550 poenaThe tariff point of the Serbian Advokatska tarifa — one poen = 50,00 RSD (čl. 15, as amended by 56/2025). Each procedural action is awarded a number of points (poena), and the fee is the point count multiplied by the poen value, plus 20 % PDV.Glossary → = 27.500 RSD net (× 50,00 RSD, plus 20% PDV). State court fee — čl. 27 tač. 8 + Tar. br. 1. Computed on the 20.000 RSD notional value: 2.800 + 4% × 20.000 = 3.600 RSD.
Compute this case in the calculatorFamily dispute (parental rights / maintenance / protection)
Family matters other than the divorce itself — parental rights (roditeljsko pravo), maintenance (izdržavanje), maternity/paternity, and protection from domestic violence (nasilje u porodici). The calculator prices the modal family matter; the court-fee treatment varies by sub-type.
You file it whenever a family-status or child-welfare question reaches court independently of a divorce — a custody or contact dispute, a support claim, or a protection-order application.
Lawyer fee — Tar. br. 14. A flat 550 poena = 27.500 RSD net for the modal matter (maternity/paternity is awarded 850, maintenance 300, domestic violence 600). State court fee — čl. 27 tač. 8 + Tar. br. 1. 3.600 RSD on the notional value. Maintenance claimants are exempt under čl. 9 st. 1, and a čl. 10 hardship waiver is routinely granted in domestic-violence matters.
Compute this case in the calculatorProbate / inheritance (ostavinski postupak)
Probate / estate proceedings (ostavinski postupak) before the basic court or a notary acting as the court’s commissioner. The lawyer award is the flat non-value figure for property-related non-contentious work; the court fee is a discretionary lump sum the judge sets after the estate is declared.
You instruct counsel when an estate must be distributed and the heirs need representation — whether the succession is straightforward or contested between heirs.
Lawyer fee — Tar. br. 23. A flat 1.000 poena = 50.000 RSD net. State court fee — Tar. br. 7. A paušalna (lump-sum) fee set by the court at its discretion between 2.000 and 75.000 RSD; Tarifo surfaces the midpoint 38.500 RSD with the full range shown. It is not a percentage of the estate value.
Compute this case in the calculatorSerbia’s Advokatska tarifaThe lawyers' tariff of the bar association, used in both Serbia and Montenegro. In Serbia it is a point-value (poen) scale (Tarifa o nagradama i naknadama troškova za rad advokata, “Sl. glasnik RS” 43/2023 i 56/2025, čl. 23 Zakona o advokaturi); in Montenegro it is a direct-euro scale (Advokatska tarifa AKCG, “Sl. list CG” 132/2025, čl. 15 st. 2 Zakona o advokaturi). In both it sets reference lawyer fees per procedural action — a semi-binding default, not a mandatory floor.Glossary → is the Serbian Bar Association tariff — a default and cost-recovery reference, not a binding minimumA tariff floor a court could once not go below. Several EU jurisdictions abandoned binding minimums after CJEU rulings; where that has happened, the same figures now serve only as reference values.Glossary →; a written agreement may set the fee lower (but not below 50% of the tariff) or higher under čl. 4 st. 2. Court fees under the Zakon o sudskim taksama are mandatory statutory amounts, VAT-exempt, with a categorical exemption for maintenance claimants (čl. 9 st. 1).
