How much does a divorce or family court case cost?

It is impossible to predict how much a divorce or other family court case will cost with any degree of certainty. However, your attorney may be able to provide an estimated range of the fees. The final cost is dependent on several factors, many beyond your lawyer’s control. These factors include the lawyer that your spouse hires, the complexity of the issues in your case, how you and your spouse behave during the family court litigation, and whether your case proceeds to a full trial on the merits. As a general rule, the more issues you and your spouse can agree upon, the lower your legal fees will be.
