Frequently asked questions

The cost of a divorce can vary significantly depending on various factors. Typically, divorce attorneys charge by the hour for their services, with rates varying based on factors like experience and local market conditions. Clients typically pay an upfront retainer fee, which the attorney draws from as they work on the case. The complexity and level of conflict in the divorce can influence the amount of work required and thus impact costs.

In some cases, additional funds may be required once the initial retainer is depleted to ensure the attorney can continue working. Litigation, especially if a trial is necessary, tends to be the most expensive aspect of a divorce. To manage costs, you will want to make sure to speak with your attorney and seek how much of collaborative effort can be employed to achieve a divorce without spending your life’s savings. 

The duration of the divorce process varies depending on several factors. In cases where parties encounter challenges compromising, fail to reach agreements, or resort to trial proceedings, the process may be prolonged. Conversely, a swift resolution is possible by amicable agreements and cooperative interaction between the parties involved. Typically, individuals should anticipate an average duration of approximately one year for a standard divorce procedure 

Typically, the decision of who initiates the divorce proceedings holds little significance. Nevertheless, specific financial considerations, such as the swift accrual of debt or the expenditure of joint assets, may prompt one party to file sooner rather than later.

They can provide tailored advice based on your individual circumstances.
