If you each get your own lawyer, not only will the costs shoot up, expect around $20,000+ per person for lawyer fees, but all communication will go through the lawyer channels and often can break down at a moments notice (which are still billable hours). Mediation offers you a cost-effective solution with the average cost of a mediated divorce being around $3000 - $7000 (together).
