Total cost depends on your issues, conflict level, and how quickly you exchange financial information. County practices, parenting classes, and mediation can influence timing and spend.
Expect a court filing fee, plus service of process, copies, and certified decrees. If you use professionals, costs may include mediation, limited-scope legal review, document preparation, and financial experts for valuation or tax planning. Parenting matters may involve education program fees.
Costs rise with complex property, high-conflict parenting, and late or incomplete disclosures. Costs fall when both sides organize bank, pay, credit, and tax records, agree on valuation dates, work from a single shared settlement draft, and start with mediation.
Lead with mediation to narrow or resolve issues, then obtain a lawyer review of your final agreement. Use attorneys strategically for coaching and checks. If real estate is involved, set an appraisal method and a refinance/buyout timeline to avoid duplicate work.
