How Much Will My Divorce Cost?

Aside from how their children will be impacted, perhaps the most pressing question for divorcing couples is how they will afford the help they need.

We believe legal services are vital for families as they navigate the complex legal and procedural issues that inevitably arise as they begin rearranging their families, and we know it is important to divorcing families’ emotional and mental well-being that they be able to predict and control the cost of legal services.

According to Lawyers.com, the average divorce in California costs $17,500 and lasts an average of 15 months. Those numbers are not surprising to us given our experience in the field, but they nonetheless seem like too much and too long for families who need solutions that don’t drag on and ruin their financial lives.

That’s why we founded Cordial Family Lawyers, LLP. It is already stressful, scary, and exhausting enough to end a marriage or negotiate a child custody agreement without worrying about how you’re going to survive the change financially.

Our full-case mediation flat fee is only $5,000, which is the total cost as a family to complete your divorce from start to finish, including court costs and fees (assuming mediation is successful). We want to give you a choice that will enable you to keep your costs down while getting high-quality services and advice.

By offering transparent pricing, flat fees, and cost-saving options, Cordial hopes to ease at least one of your worries as you get divorced: your life might be changing rapidly, but at least you will know how much you will need to spend to get the help you need.
