1 Lawyer Answer

A: Divorces cost different amounts in different counties. Lawyers fees vary. You and your ex may be able to do it yourself if you agree on the terms. Contact the county clerk's office where you live. Many counties offer a reduced fee or pro bono assistance for a uncontested divorce and will have forms available that are approved by the court. As far as getting your kids back, that is far too complicated to answer, other than to say you will have to petition in the court that ordered them removed.
