How much will my divorce cost?

It depends, and there is no one-size fits all because every marriage and family are built different. The cost of a divorce depends on several factors that are difficult to control or predict.

When parties are in full agreement with the terms of their divorce, an uncontested divorce can be a relatively inexpensive and quick process.

However, when parties begin to disagree about various aspects of their marital estate or their plans pertaining to the care of their children, a number of issues could arise and raise the costs of litigation. When a case is filed with the Court, there are certain requirements that must be met pursuant to statute. There are also several legal remedies and measures that can be utilized within the court system to facilitate moving a divorce through the court system when one spouse delays or creates a problem that may need addressed prior to the finalization of the divorce.

Following the advice of your attorney throughout your divorce and completing all necessary tasks and paperwork upon request of your attorney helps reduce attorney’s fees and costs, and cuts down the overall timeline of your case in litigation.
