The Shocking Cost of Divorce

While the added expense of living in two separate households may be obvious in a divorce case,  consider the insane cost of legal fees if you and your spouse choose to litigate your divorce.

In this excellent blog posting, Cris Pastore outlines some of the additional costs you may be faced with if to go to court.  Consultation fees, retainer fees, court hearings for child custody, child support, and equitable distribution of marital property can easily result in 2-4 year court battles and $40,000 or more in counsel fees.

What if you could avoid excessive legal costs - and still be able to work out a fair arrangement?  You can choose divorce mediation to resolve your separation or divorce.  But there is one catch, you and your spouse have to both agree to do this.
