IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A DIVORCE YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT COSTS
Getting divorced is never easy. The emotional and financial considerations are daunting. So what are you looking at for the nuts and bolts?
In Palm Beach County the mere cost of filing is astronomical. $409 just to file! Then more charges to issue the summons and get your spouse served – figure at least another $200 out of pocket. They even charge more now if you are getting a divorce and want to file a counter-petition – $295!!!
Now, even without a lawyer – the court is till going to make you go to mediation – at a required cost of another $120 each!
Hiring a lawyer – even for an uncontested simple divorce is not cheap – but it is practical. There are many lawyers who will work up a simple but thorough written settlement agreement for you – and its not that expensive. Once you have a signed agreement, the rest is simple and your lawyer can walk you through the actual divorce for a fixed and inexpensive fee.
