  1. THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO DIVORCE LEGAL FEES AND WHO PAYS WHAT

  2. COMMON TYPES OF DIVORCE LEGAL FEES Attorney's Fees: Attorney charge hourly or flat fees for services such as advice, negotiation, and representation. Fees may vary depending on the complexity of the case, the attorney's experience, and the time required to resolve the case.

  3. Court costs: Legal costs, paperwork costs, and other costs associated with court proceedings are generally the responsibility of the divorcing parties. Litigation costs vary by jurisdiction and type of case.

  4. Fees for Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): If the parties decide to use mediation or ADR to settle their divorce, there may be a charge for the mediator's or arbitrator's services. Usually, the parties split these costs equally.

  5. WHO COVERS WHAT: Attorney's Fees: Each party is liable for its own legal expenses. However, if there is a large disparity in income or financial resources, the court may in some circumstances require one spouse to contribute to the other's legal expenses.

  6. Court Fees: Unless the court orders differently, court fees are typically shared by the divorcing parties. It's crucial to keep track of your spending and keep detailed records for reimbursement or allocation purposes.

  7. Retention fee: Some attorneys require an upfront fee as a security deposit for future services. Fees are typically paid by the client and used to cover ongoing legal costs.
