Explain these results
Your attorney estimate is the hourly rate multiplied by the expected hours. Court and filing fees are then added to both paths. The mediation amount is added only to the contested path.
- The path you selected is highlighted; it does not change the math.
- This comparison holds attorney hours equal. A contested case often needs a different time estimate, so ask an attorney for scenario-specific hours.
- Other costs—such as appraisals, experts, document service, travel, and appeals—are not included unless you fold them into one of your entered amounts.
Informational purposes only. This estimate is not legal advice and does not predict what any divorce will cost. Fees, procedures, and available options vary by location and case. Consult a qualified family-law attorney for advice about your situation.
