“Divorce is 80 percent emotional, 10 percent legal and 10 percent financial.” This is the quote that rings most true to me in an article posted by the New York Times, “Can Divorce Be Affordable? Yes, but Only if Spouses Want It to Be.” Every divorce case is unique, and the costs related to different processes vary greatly. But every alternative to a litigated court battle is likely to be substantially less expensive, financially and emotionally. In addition to the options mentioned in the article is a flat-fee divorce, which my office offers in certain cases where there are no contested issues, and where both spouses are expressly cooperative with the process.
