Cost of Divorce

I want a divorce, but every lawyer I call wants more money than I can afford.

Divorce is a legal proceeding, so there are certain requirements that must be adhered to - such as pleading, service of process, and notice. Filing fees must also be paid. However, we work with our clients to obtain the best quality representation at the lowest possible price. Many of our clients choose our no-interest payment plans to finance their case. We will work with you on your particular need. If you need to get your life back in order and need a divorce, we can help.

What is a Filing Fee?

A filing fee is what the county charges to file your case in their county. Usually when a lawyer quotes a price, it is quoted without the filing fee. That's because the filing fee is a fixed price, and does not go to the lawyer, but goes to the county. Different counties charge different filing fees. I usually quote a filing fee of $160, because that is approximately what the surrounding counties charge for an uncontested divorce.
