Legal Fees

How much does it cost to divorce in Connecticut?
Court fees can be as minimal as several hundred dollars. Legal fees can vary greatly depending upon the:
  • complexity of the facts of the case;
  • complexity of the legal issues involved;
  • ability or inability of one or both spouses to act reasonably;
  • method of divorce chosen by the couple;
  • skill and experience of the lawyers;
  • couple’s willingness and ability to pay legal fees.


How do lawyers charge?
Most divorce lawyers and mediators bill on an hourly basis.

What is a retainer, how much is it and how does it work?
A retainer is a payment a client makes to a lawyer in exchange for the lawyer’s willingness to take on the client’s legal matter.
