The cost of divorce varies depending upon what region of the State of Arkansas you reside. Most family law attorneys will charge an initial retainer to represent you in a divorce, whether contested or uncontested, and then charge the work performed on your behalf against the retainer. Typically, an uncontested divorce will be less expensive than a contested divorce.

It depends on whether you do it yourself or have an attorney represent you. If you want to retain an attorney, interview several because we all have different policies as to amount of retainer, payments, etc.

ALL divorces in California are no-fault (California is a no fault case, you do not need to show who is at fault for the divorce). The court filing fee is currently $435.00. Attorney fees depend on the extent of time spent on the case, how much is disputed, and how much there is to settle (child custody, child visitation, child support, spousal support, division of all assets, division of retirement accounts, division of all debts, determination of community vs. separate property, determination of reimbursement issues, etc.
