Divorce Cost

Applying for divorce carries a filing fee of $900, although you may be eligible for a reduced filing fee. If you are making a sole application, you will need to notify your spouse that you have applied for divorce. This is called serving the application for divorce on your spouse.

Court attendance is compulsory if you made a sole application and have children under 18. If you made a joint application, you do not have to attend court. The court may grant your divorce, dismiss your application or adjourn the case if they require further information. When the court grants your divorce, it will become final one month and one day after the court makes the order.

If you are having difficulty serving the divorce application because you do not know the whereabouts of your ex-spouse, you can apply to the court through your divorce lawyer for an order for substituted service or an order for the dispensation of service.

Getting a divorce usually costs between $1,920 and $2,470. The original filing fee is only $900, which is a small part of this amount. By hiring an experienced divorce lawyer, you can be sure that these costs are clear and get help through the process. In this tough time, it’s important to know all the costs up front so that you can make smart choice.
