How much will a divorce cost?
The cost of the divorce is directly related to the complexity of the case and to the extent to which the issues are contested. An uncontested divorce will obviously cost much less than a divorce where, for example, there exist hotly contested issues as to child custody or the division of marital assets.
An attorney will generally require the payment of a retainer at the outset of the representation. You can expect to be billed on an hourly basis for work performed in the course of the representation. If the initial retainer was insufficient to cover all the legal fees and costs, you will receive periodic invoices, which you are expected to pay promptly.
In addition to paying your attorney, you will be responsible to pay court filing fees and the other costs incurred in the course of the divorce.
