HOW MUCH DOES A DIVORCE COST?

This is one of the most common questions or firm receives, and unfortunately, there is no easy answer.  Generally, divorces can be accomplished for as little as $1,500 or as much as $150,000.  It really depends on the length and issues of the divorce.  For example, if the two parties are able to agree on all of the outstanding issues, or at least the significant ones (child custody, support, maintenance, asset division, etc.), you could probably finalize the divorce for under $5,000.  However, if the major issues cannot be agreed upon by the parties and require mediation, or even worse, a trial, that is when fees and expenses can rise drastically.  In Illinois, I would estimate the average divorce costs each party $10,000 - $15,000, however, as mentioned earlier, that figure can be reduced by the parties negotiating and reaching agreements on the majority of the outstanding issues.
