For those of you who have gone through the experience of separating/divorcing with the EX, would you mind sharing some info on the real cost of hiring a family lawyer and paying the court fees?
I know this can vary a lot, from city to city and certainly depend heavily on the complexity of each case. I can imagine that it goes from 3~5K and up to 10~20K, but generally how much you paid actually to retain a good lawyer? On an hourly basis, will I be looking at 200 per hour or $300/hour? And mainly for a custody dispute, how many hours?
Apart from the lawyer fees, how about those court fees? How much are we talking about to use the services of our legal system? Will that be shared or will it have to be paid for by whoever initiates the process?
Thanks. Any insight will be greatly appreciated!
