DIVORCE FAQS
Frequently asked questions
- 01
The cost of divorce depends on several factors, primarily whether it is contested. An uncontested divorce is typically less expensive as it is more straightforward and may not require courtroom appearances. In contested divorces, costs vary based on:
Disputes or disagreements between spouses
Potential custody battles
Number of assets and any hidden assets allegations
Attorney's fees and their legal competency and negotiation skills
While precise costs are unpredictable, they start with the filing fee and vary according to the case's specifics.

With no-fault divorces now allowed in all states, grounds for divorce are typically unnecessary unless in a covenant marriage. However, you might file for a fault-based divorce if adultery involved wasting marital property. In such cases, a judge may compensate the non-cheating spouse through asset distribution.
