My husband and I agree to the divorce. Someone told him that if you file jointly, it's cheaper. Is there ANY truth behind this? Is filing jointly even a possibility? If so, are there advantages?

The court costs are identical no matter how you file. But if you agree on everything in advance any legal fees will be much lower.

If you both agree, you can file an "uncontested" divorce. One of you has to be the spouse asking for the divorce, so you aren't really filing it "together" but you are in agreement about it.  Uncontested divorces are the cheapest type of divorce because they take the least amount of work.
