Question

How long and how much does a divorce cost? (No children or property involved)?

Answer 1

You're gonna be looking at roughly $1000 just to draw up the papers and about 6 months beginning to end...and that's if there is no contestment between the two parties involved...Remind you that this is in Texas...you figure 60 days waiting for a hearing, 60 days for finalizing everything and 60 days after the divorce is decreed before you can do anything legally...you can do the DIY option but it takes a lot of research and a lot of time and money spent in the county clerks office...I would just get a lawyer or go to legal aid...

Answer 2

in california you can get a fee waiver package. mine cost me nothing. check with the clerk at the family court in your area

Answer 3

Don't even bother with a lawyer especially with your situation

all lawyers are crooks in my opinion.

Answer 4

check at your local clerks office if you have nothing to fight over then it could be as little as $250 dollars that is what mine cost.

Here in NC you have to be apart/separated 1 year it varies from state to state.  1 of you get a lawyer and the other one says ok and signs and its over in 30 days  

Answer 5

You could probably get the papers online and file it yourself.  If you both agree on the terms, it should not be very expensive .
