Frequently Asked Questions
Family Law FAQ
Divorce costs range from $1,500 for uncontested cases to $30,000+ for contested litigation. Filing fees average $300–$400 in most states. Attorney hourly rates typically run $200–$400/hr. A contested divorce with children typically costs $15,000–$25,000 per spouse.
41 states use the Income Shares model, which considers both parents’ gross incomes and custody split. 6 states use a percentage-of-income model based solely on the paying parent’s income. 3 states (Delaware, Hawaii, Montana) use the Melson Formula.
Alimony duration typically correlates with marriage length. Short marriages (under 7 years) may yield 1–3 years of support. Long marriages (17+ years) may result in permanent support in some states. 7 states use formula-based duration calculations.
Equitable distribution means property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. 41 states plus DC use this standard. The 9 community property states (AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, WI) generally split marital property 50/50.
