A: Puerto Rico, or Pennsylvania?

And by "cost," do you mean filing fees, or attorney's fees, or both? You can find out the filing fees by contacting the Prothonotary's Office in your county -- and sometimes those fees are posted online at the court's website. As for attorney's fees, there's no "standard" cost for that. You negotiate with an attorney, and you two come to an agreement about it.

Best of luck to you.

A: In PA, the filing fee varies by county - smaller counties have lower fees than larger ones. You should at least consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area to make sure that simply getting a divorce without reviewing any assets that may be subject to division, such as pension and retirement accounts, is a good approach for you.
