The cost of divorce will depend on several factors, including the individuals involved, the assets the couple shared together, and whether or not you choose to get a lawyer involved. Generally, the average cost of divorce in the U.S. can be around $15,000, but can also be lower or higher in some cases too. When it comes to court proceedings, in most states, you will have to file the divorce with the court, and that tends to come with a fee between $100 to over $400. Additional court fees bring the total cost (not including cost of mediation or lawyer fee) to approximately $925.
