Q: What's the cost for divorce for only two people? No children.
He's in the military and overseas. I'm over here in California and I'm a military Spouse.
A: Lawyers will need to know more facts about the case before quoting fees. For example, simple and agreed upon divorces will cost a lot less than a contested divorce with hearings and trials. Determining community property interests and the amount of work is necessary to assess the situation better. Since many divorce lawyers offer a free initial consultation, it would be a good idea to call a couple.
A: There's no way to predict the cost of a divorce. Only the court's filing fee is predictable. Beyond that, the cost of a divorce depends on whether you hire counsel, on how much that attorney charges, on whether there is a lot of conflict between the parties, whether there are assets/debts to be divided, etc.
