how much does a divorce cost in ca
This is a complicated question to answer. The Court filing fees are easy... the first paper filing fee in California's superior courts is $395. After that, motions and most other court fees range from $20 - $60 or so.Attorney fees are another matter.On average, we have found that the typical cost for attorney fees for a divorce is between $15,000 - $20,000 per person.There are a lot of factors that go into that cost -- the amount of conflict, whether there are children, how many times you have to go to court to resolve disputes, complex legal issues, etc.ach attorney does it differently. For example, in my own practice, I charge a flat rate ($6,000 - $9,500) based on the size of the community estate that needs to be divided and whether or not there are any family businesses or professional practices to divide.
