Answer: Generally speaking, if we proceed with the divorce only, and it remains uncontested, it will take approximately 3 months to complete and the cost is $1,500 or less. This includes all of the Court fees that we must pay for you, which are around $750. However, you may wish to pursue other rights that you have, apart from just seeking the divorce itself, and I would be pleased to provide you with a free consultation if you call me, so that you know exactly what the best approach is for you.
