- Divorces that go to trial on two or more issues cost, on average, $23,300.
- The average hourly rate for a divorce attorney is $270.
- The average total cost of legal fees was $11,300 per spouse when a full-scope divorce attorney was involved.
- Divorces take, on average, between 12 and 18 months to finalize.
