Saving Money Through La Quinta Divorce Mediation
When you choose to go the litigation route and lawyers get involved, the costs will go up significantly compared to using a divorce mediator. And often end up with the same outcome! Lawyer fees will end up about $25,000+ depending on what your lawyer charges, how quickly things can get done, and their ability to work towards a conclusion. This is per person. With divorce mediation, the average cost of a divorce is about $3,000 - $7,000. It varies depending on the complexity of the issues involved and the ability for the couples to communicate efficiently.
With litigation it can take up to 6 months just for the first hearing in front of a judge. During this time hours are being accrued by your lawyer and you can expect a surprising bill at the end. With a divorce lawyer, you hire your own lawyer so you are responsible for those fees. With divorce mediation, the couple frequently splits the costs. There will be NO surprising bills, you will have a full understanding before the final invoice is sent.
Along with the mention above with a divorce litigation procedure lasting anywhere between 8-14 months, with divorce mediation the average time from start to finish is 4-6 weeks. We understand you are ready to move on with your lives!
