THE COST TO DIVORCE WITH CHILDREN

WHY IS IT MORE EXPENSIVE?

A divorce can drain a lot out of you physically, mentally, and financially. One of the most common questions clients ask their lawyers is, “How much is this going to cost?” The answer isn’t always going to be the same. There are many variants that can determine the total outcome for each party involved. If a divorce is uncontested and there is no marital property, the parties may be able to attain it for hundreds of dollars. However, if there are children, property, or alimony issues, a divorce can be expensive. Much of this additional cost comes when the divorcing parents want the separation to flow as smoothly as possible, especially when there are minor children involved in the divorce. When there are concerns relating to the child’s safety, welfare, or health, or if the parents are having trouble agreeing on how much child support should be, costs will increase. A parent may want to hire expert witnesses or consultants, such as educational specialists or psychologists, to help their children through this stressful situation. Paying for specialists’ support, in addition to an attorney’s hourly rate, court costs, filing fees, and the cost of copying and sharing documents can cause the price of a divorce to increase steeply.
