Yes, Divorces Can Cost a Lot, But There Are Ways to Save
We don’t have to tell you that divorce can be a painful, emotional process, exacerbated by drawn out, expensive legal proceedings. You’ve seen Marriage Story. There’s a reason why Laura Dern’s character (she played a divorce attorney) was so well-heeled. And yes, even in the best case scenarios, if both parties agree to all the terms, divorce can still take a toll on your savings. How much it costs to get a divorce varies pretty wildly due to individual circumstances like the state you live in, if you’re splitting up amicably, or working through a toxic relationship, and whether there are kids involved. Still, it can be helpful to know general price ranges and the major factors that affect the cost of divorce if you’ve found yourself in need of one.
