When one spouse files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, the other spouse has the right to file a response or personally appear in court to respond in person.

Unless you\u2019re able to file an uncontested divorce using the self-service forms available online and have no children (which is extremely rare), you\u2019ll need to hire a professional and pay additional court costs. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Full cost of a Divorce in Arizona<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The actual cost of a divorce can vary widely from case to case depending on the issues involved. The average cost reported by American consumers is around $15,500 per spouse, with the bulk of that charge being attorney\u2019s fees. Divorce cases that go to court are even more expensive, averaging almost $20,000 per spouse. On the other end of the scale, spouses who are able to reach a settlement agreement outside of court report about a thousand dollars in savings with an average cost of $14,500.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Divorces are inherently complicated, so it makes sense that they can be pricey (though it still hurts to pay the bill when you\u2019re done). When children are involved, you\u2019ll need to determine parenting time, legal decision-making, and child support. Even without children, it can be challenging to agree on the division of debt, property, and paying spousal maintenance. These can be a headache to deal with, but they\u2019re critical issues that require significant time and attention. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Importance of Hiring a Good Attorney<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Attorney costs make up the lion\u2019s share of divorce costs, but they\u2019re worth every penny (assuming you have a good attorney who charges a fair rate, of course). For divorce cases that are complicated or contentious, you\u2019ll need an experienced attorney in your corner to protect your interests and preserve your rights in the face of intense opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the important activities that an attorney can handle in a divorce case include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Calculating child support<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Communicating directly with an argumentative spouse or their attorney (so you don\u2019t have to)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Forming an equitable parenting plan <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Handling petitions and discovery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Negotiating for legal decision-making and parenting time that preserves the child\u2019s best interests<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preparing your case for court or mediation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Protecting your assets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valuing and dividing assets and liabilities<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How much does it cost to hire a divorce attorney?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are three ways you can hire an attorney to represent you in a divorce case:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Full representation &#8211; most arrangements fall into this category, where the attorney handles every aspect of the case. This is the easiest form of representation and provides the most peace of mind, though it\u2019s also the most expensive.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Partial representation &#8211; for those with limited issues, you can save money by hiring an attorney to handle the complicated aspect(s) of the case, such as child support or alimony. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consultation-only &#8211; simple divorce cases with no hot-button issues and no children may only need a little guidance to get through the divorce process. In such cases, you can meet with an attorney as-needed without hiring them to represent you in the case.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most people pay about $150 &#8211; $350 per hour to work with a divorce attorney, with the average rate around $250 per hour. Of course, that\u2019s just the average &#8212; clients with simple cases may work with a small-town attorney for much less, while clients with complex issues and substantial assets at stake may need a full team of attorneys to handle their case. In addition to the attorney, you\u2019ll also need to pay for the paralegals and administrative assistants working on your case, as well as the little things like making copies and serving notices to interested parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other Costs in a Divorce Case<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to hiring an attorney, you may need to hire third-party professionals to assist with your case or testify in court. For example, you may need to pay for a mediator to help you settle your case outside of the courtroom. This costs a little extra in the short-run, but it can save you thousands of dollars in the long run by avoiding going to trial. Another example would be hiring an accountant to assist with financial tasks, or hiring an appraiser to value your home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apart from professional fees, there are a number of small costs involved such as updating your passport or changing your driver\u2019s license. There are also state-specific programs that can add extra costs and time-commitments. For example, parents with children in Arizona need to complete a Parent Information Program class for $45 (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/25\/00352.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ARS 25-352<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Call the Family Law Team at <a href=\"tel:4804674348\">(480) 467-4348<\/a>\u00a0to discuss your case today.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Filing fees are set by the courts, so the cost to file for divorce in Arizona depends on the county where you file.
