Traditionally, the cost of a divorce varies greatly, from under $500 for an amicable, uncontested DIY divorce to an average of $11,300 for attorney fees in a contested divorce. These figures are also highly dependent on what state you live in, local filing fees, and state-specific laws. At WinIt, we greatly reduce these costs by streamlining the process and connecting you directly with attorneys that work on your case. Rather than ongoing retainers, we operate with flat fees and offer flexible payment plans. This ensures that we keep costs as low as possible for every case we fight.
The details of filing for divorce can vary depending on your state's laws and the specifics of your situation. Generally, main steps include the following: 1.

File a Petition for Divorce: Submit a legal petition or complaint to the appropriate family court, outlining your grounds for divorce and relevant details. 4. Serve the Divorce Papers: Provide a copy of the filed petition and summons to your spouse, officially notifying them of the divorce proceedings. 5.

Marital property is divided in a divorce based on your state's laws, which are typically either "equitable distribution" or "community property". In an equitable distribution state like New York, a court divides property fairly, though not necessarily equally, by considering factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's income, and contributions to the marriage. In community property states, marital property is generally divided equally between the spouses.
Child support is typically calculated based on guidelines established by state or country laws, which consider factors such as the income of both parents, the amount of time each parent spends with the child, the child's needs, and other relevant expenses. The goal is to ensure the child's financial needs are met while fairly distributing the financial responsibilities between parents. While child support orders can be modified, parents usually need to petition the court, providing evidence of the changed circumstances. The court will evaluate whether a change is justified and adjust the support order accordingly.
Spousal maintenance (also known as alimony) is based on a state formula that looks at the difference in income between you and your spouse and how long you were married.

Child custody is determined by courts using a "best interests of the child" standard, which involves evaluating factors like each parent's ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment, the child's physical and emotional needs, and each parent's relationship with the child. The court also considers the child's wishes (depending on their age and maturity), history of domestic violence or substance abuse, and each parent's capacity to foster a relationship between the child and the other parent.
