Uncontested divorces cost between $1,500 and $2,500. Contested divorces average $5,000 to $7,000. Seriously contested divorces can cost as much as $20,000 or $40,000. The costs depends on time invested into the case. During a consult an attorney will give you a ballpark figure of the costs for your divorce.
Not every divorce has to involve conflict. Spouses can agree on the divorce and file an uncontested divorce. If both spouses agree to “all” the terms of the divorce (including property division, debts, spousal support, child support, and child custody) and at least one of the spouses and the children live in Las Vegas, they can file a document called a Joint Petition. Spouses can draft and file the Joint Petition documents, file the documents with the court, and obtain the judge’s final approval themselves, or they can use divorce attorneys to draft the uncontested divorce documents. An uncontested divorce is the quickest and least expensive way to get divorced because there are no court hearings. Typically, an uncontested divorce takes about 2 to 3 weeks to complete. Costs for an uncontested divorce average less than $2,000. This is compared to a contested divorce which average $5,000 and can take 6 months or longer to finish.
