Required parenting class

In a divorce based on incompatibility with a child under 18, both adult parties must attend an educational program on the impact of divorce on children; the court may waive attendance for good cause, including domestic violence. In other cases with children the court may require it. The statute sets the program fee at $10 to $60 per attendee, paid to the provider; it may be waived when a qualified free program is used. (source)

Fee waiver in Oklahoma

If you cannot afford the fees, file the Affidavit in forma pauperis (filed with the court clerk) (28 O.S. 152(H)). A litigant who, by reason of poverty, is unable to pay the fees and costs and is financially unable to employ counsel may file a sworn affidavit; the opposing party may contest it, and the court holds a hearing on eligibility. (source)

The court or clerk decides whether to grant it and which fees it covers; filing the form does not guarantee a waiver.
