How Much Will My Divorce Cost?

    WHEATON, IL, January 09, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The answer to that is largely dependent on you and your spouse. That means that the more that you and your spouse fight in court, the more expensive your court case will become. In a similar fashion if you and your spouse can agree on most or all of the terms of your divorce your case becomes much less expensive. The additional benefits are that your case ends sooner and there is much less anxiety experienced by your family. Literally every case is going to be different.

Financial concerns regarding divorce are extremely common. The costs of hiring an attorney, paying filing and court fees, and taking time off of work can all add up quickly. This does not even begin to address the portion of the marital estate that your spouse may receive when your property is divided.

In many cases, a couple will stay in an unhappy, unhealthy marriage because they fear the costs of divorce will be too great. Divorce, however, does not need to be prohibitively expensive. At Abear Law Offices, our experienced family law attorneys realize that an efficient, negotiated divorce settlement can provide the new start you need at a price you can afford.

Reducing Conflict Can Save Money
Limiting the cost of your divorce is simple in concept but may be difficult in practice. You can reduce your out-of-pocket costs by working closely with your spouse to develop an agreement that meets the needs of your entire family. Not only will such negotiations help you save money, they can also allow the process to move much faster. When you cannot reach an agreement on anything and leave all of the important decisions to the court, your divorce can become quite costly. The longer your case goes on, the more you will need to pay.
