The Abbott government will try to raise divorce fees for the third time in an attempt to help restore the Family Courts' finances.

It is understood that Attorney-General George Brandis, QC, will try to convince crossbench senators to change their minds to get the fees passed in the next sitting period in September. Without Labor or the Greens, the government needs support from six of the eight crossbenchers to succeed.

Senator Brandis' office is believed to be considering options for another regulation that involves raising and reducing different types of Family Court fees, including reducing some concession fees.

The government previously threatened to cut frontline services, close registries and not to replace retiring judges if higher fees were not maintained, saying they were necessary to keep the Family and Federal Circuit Courts financially sustainable.
