Separation Court Costs Overview

Summary

The cost of going to court for a separation disagreement can vary widely, typically ranging from $5,000 to over $100,000 depending on the complexity of the case. Factors include court filing fees, attorneys fees, and costs for mediation or arbitration. If no child support or alimony is provided, you may need to file for modification of the divorce decree or request enforcement of court orders.
