How much does the average divorce cost?
We require $2,000 as an initial retainer, and we charge $290 per hour. Most middle-class divorces range from $2,000 to $10,000; however they can become extremely costly if certain factors are present.
What separates a $2,000 divorce from a $10,000 divorce?
That is simple: complex issues and problems. For example, the following items can cause a divorce to become costly:
- Drawn-out custody battles
- Family violence
- Criminal matters and orders of protection
- Complex businesses that must be evaluated and split
- Retirement accounts
- The sale of a home
- Allegations of sexual abuse or incest
- Forensic psychologist or incompetence matters
- Unwillingness to abide by court orders and the State of New York laws
The above issues, if all contained in one divorce, clearly push the divorce towards a $10,000 price tag. The average divorce involves the refinancing of a home, limited issues on custody, and the division of a retirement account. This can be done in a relatively short period of time, and it will not be costly.
How much is mediation?
Mediation is a flat rate of $2,000. We handle hundreds of divorces and we can help you reach an agreement. Mediate your separation or divorce settlement for one, low, flat fee with one of Long Island's most successful divorce attorneys, Bryan L. Salamone, Esq.
