A divorce can be very expensive. Divorces involving custody rights (for 3 children) and property rights and presumably alimony are particularly expensive and a good divorce attorney would likely charge in excess of ten thousand dollars over the course of the matter or even just as a starting retainer. Consider, perhaps, divorce mediation. You would both agree to calmly sit with one attorney who would act as a neutral third party to asist in filing papers and drafting the settlement agreement, which covers all issues. Please feel free to contact me if this option interests you.
