    A very simple desk order divorce will generally costs around $1,000.00 – $1,500.00 from start to finish, but the cost varies from lawyer to lawyer and depends on several factors, for example:

    • If you and your spouse require a Separation Agreement, it will generally cost an additional $1,500 – $2,500 to prepare the Agreement.
    • If you and your spouse are able to file a Separation Agreement with your Notice of Family Claim, the filing fee for your Notice of Family Claim reduces from approx. $200 to approx. $30.00.
    • If you or your spouse have not paid child support pursuant to the Federal Child Support Guidelines, or if you’ve reached an agreement that child support will not be paid pursuant to the Federal Child Support Guidelines, your desk order divorce is likely to be rejected and a lawyer may need to appear before a judge to request the divorce.
