As an experienced New Jersey Divorce Attorney, one of the first questions clients ask me is “Well, how much is this going to cost me?”  The cost of divorce in New Jersey varies, so it is almost impossible to provide an exact price, unless the divorce is uncontested and there are no assets, no children, and no issues.  A divorce with high assets, home ownership, or children doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive if the parties can come to an agreement in the beginning stages, or even before they get divorced.  The cost of an uncontested divorce in New Jersey will typically start around $1,500.00, plus the filing fee.  If the divorce is contested and there are assets and issues such as custody and child support, the initial retainer could range from $3,500.00 to $5,000.00, or more depending on the particular circumstances.  Are you considering a divorce but are unsure how much it will cost?  Contact dedicated New Jersey Divorce Attorney Brian Freeman for experienced council.

A frequent question clients ask me is “What’s the difference between a contested and an uncontested divorce in New Jersey?” There are two types of divorces in New Jersey. One is a contested divorce, and the other is an uncontested divorce.  A contested divorce involves the parties negotiating or actively fighting over assets, child custody, child support, or even pets. Contested divorces are typically going to be far more expensive than an uncontested divorce.  In an uncontested divorce, the parties have either agreed on how to dissolve their assets, or there are no assets to fight over. These also involve no children, or there are no issues concerning the children, such as child support or custody and parenting time.  An uncontested divorce is generally the best way to go for the parties, assuming they can do that. If there are children involved, an uncontested divorce can diminish the stress on them as well as on the parties themselves. Uncontested divorces will also be far less expensive than a contested matter. New Jersey Divorce Attorney Discusses a Contested Divorce Vs an Uncontested Divorce

Divorces in New Jersey are a creature of the particular factual circumstances relating to the parties, and the time-frames can vary. Over the years, I’ve had divorce cases where clients have been divorced in as little as 30 days. I’ve also seen cases where the divorce isn’t finalized for a year and a half, or longer. Every divorce is different, and every factual situation determines how quickly a divorce can be finalized. If there are a lot of assets involved and the parties can’t come to an agreement, that divorce is typically going to take much longer. However, if there are no assets, or if there are large assets but the parties are in complete agreement, that divorce is going to be much faster, and much less expensive.
