The length of a divorce will be >6 months. California has a 6-month statutory waiting period that begins upon service of divorce papers on your spouse. Whether your divorce is contested or not will also play a factor in determining the length of the process (as contested divorces often take longer ). Additionally, other issues involved in complex cases and high net worth divorces (especially those which may have hidden assets) may take years to completely finish.

Attorney services range from small to large depending on the service(s) rendered and hours billable. Here are two points you should consider. First, is the divorce emotionally charged? Does one spouse not want the divorce? This spouse may refuse to cooperate and prevent the divorce from reaching completion. Inevitably, this leads to higher fees for both parties.

Second, the cost increases when one party decides to treat his or her attorney as mental health professionals. Actual therapists are a far more economic option. Unnecessary billable hours can be prevented by letting the attorney focus on their objective – a successful outcome for you.

The cost of divorce is dependent on the mentality of the involved parties. If you're committed to finding a resolution and communicating with your attorney about things that are important to you, costs can be controlled. It's true some issues can be complex and these often correspond with increased costs.  Your Conrad & Associates attorney is trained to spot such issues so they can be explained up-front and contained when possible.
