The Cost of a Divorce

Divorces are like fingerprints. You look at the curve of the lines and you can identify the pattern as a fingerprint. However, every fingerprint is different, no two are exactly alike. The same is true of divorces. Each divorce has its own unique set of facts, its own unique set of emotions and its own unique cast of characters including parties, attorneys and judges.

It is impossible to know in advance how the drama of each divorce will play itself out. Attorneys offer a blue print of the process and a frank discussion of the costs. You and your attorney need to decide what "frills and options" you can afford and what aspects of the case are necessary to the divorce.

The cost of a divorce can range from under $1,000 to over $1,000,000. It depends on the issues, whether the client has the budget to afford everything he or she wants to accomplish and is willing to spend the money to take the shot.
