For a contested divorce, our firm will generally require a retainer beginning at $5,000.00. Please keep in mind that no two divorces are the same, so the final costs for a contested divorce, as well as the amount of the retainer, will vary depending on your particular situation. It is our policy always to do our best to keep the price of your divorce down and your legal fees reasonable. If you are dealing with an uncontested divorce, the cost may be considerably cheaper.
