Every divorce is different from the next. Each comes with complicating factors that could influence the length it takes to settle the case. Thus, while divorces vary in terms of how difficult and expensive they can be, there are some factors that will almost always lead to higher costs.
Below are a few examples of those factors:
- An inability to remain civil: The more you and your spouse can work out important issues like child support and custody, property division and spousal maintenance in an amicable way, the less your divorce will cost you in the long term. If you are constantly in disagreement, you may find that you’ll need to spend more time and money resolving your case.
- Ongoing child custody battles: Child custody battles are often what make for extremely contentious divorces. Fighting over custody and visitation may lead to more litigation, along with custody evaluations to make recommendations and the need to hire expert witnesses to testify on your behalf.
- Valuing assets: Certain assets such as businesses, non-marital assets, homes/real property, and certain collections of personal property can require hiring experts to determine the value of the asset. The more experts needed to value the property, the more expensive a divorce proceeding will become.
