How It Works
Our calculator uses state-specific filing fees, average attorney rates, and common cost factors to generate personalized estimates. We consider your divorce type (contested vs. uncontested), income level, assets, children, and other factors that affect the total cost.
Our Data
Filing fees are sourced from public court records for each state. Attorney fee ranges are based on published averages and survey data from legal industry reports. All estimates are approximations — actual costs vary based on your specific circumstances, attorney, and county.
Disclaimer
This tool provides estimates for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified family law attorney in your state for guidance specific to your situation.
