How Much Is a Divorce Going to Cost?

Realistic Goals Can Limit Expenses in Illinois Divorces

The cost of your divorce can vary a great deal depending on how complicated your case is and what you hope to get out of the process. While it may be possible to complete your divorce with the help of an attorney for a few thousand or less, the greater your wants are, the more you should expect to pay.

Any divorce has the potential to be extremely expensive, costing both spouses significant time and financial investment. At Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, questions about money and expenses are often among the first concerns our clients express. Our attorneys are able to complete a divorce for a few thousand dollars. To achieve that, the key is keeping your wants and goals realistic.

For example, if you decide to take a Hawaiian vacation, you could probably do so for less than $3,000. However, it would not be realistic to fly your whole family first class to the islands, stay in a five-star hotel suite, and eat lobster every night for $3,000 or less. The same principles apply to your divorce.
