I had a real conversation, not with a lawyer, but someone who was empathetic to my situation and listened. We ended up only spending about $2K on the divorce and was in front of the judge for 10 minutes - Done!

What factors impact the cost of divorce?

Type of Divorce

DIY Divorce: The cheapest way to split with your partner is to engage in a DIY divorce, in which you settle all of your issues together, file the paperwork, and move on without the help of lawyers or other outsiders. 
Collaborative Divorce: You both hire lawyers, and you work through the divorce without entering the courtroom. This option can save a lot of money, too. 
Standard Divorce: You enter a courtroom with lawyers and handle the estate with their help. This is the most expensive way to split.

Complexity of case

Couples with few assets and debts have little to argue over. But if you share many properties, lots of obligations, and several children, you have multiple problems to sort through. Cases like this tend to cost more than their simpler cousins. 

Couple's Relationship

Stereotypical divorcing couples argue over everything. Reality is more complicated. For example, up to 15% of couples reconcile after they separate. 

Couples that can communicate, collaborate, and connect tend to spend less money on a divorce than couples who argue over every single thing. You don't have to harbor plans to get back together to work together. You just must be committed to the process and your future. If you can cooperate, it makes for a smoother resolution.
