How much did your divorce cost?
We settled through mediation, and stayed out of court. I believe I spent close to $5K.
There are no winners in divorce, except the attorneys. I don’t know of a single divorced person who says, “Got divorced, it went really well.” It just sucks. Not sure why anyone would try to sugarcoat it.
Divorce is a business transaction. Radio silence unless absolutely necessary.

Hoping I never have to go through something like that.
Even if you don’t want a divorce, and you are on the receiving end of a divorce suit, it means you are both getting a divorce.
Divorce can be unilateral and does not have to be a joint decision.
Never leave your marital residence unless ordered by the court.
The more you fight, the richer the attorneys become.
Divorce will not lead to personal happiness. Divorce does not lead to greater happiness or more fulfillment for the couple or their children. In fact, the detrimental results of divorce follow the couple and the children for a lifetime.

$1200 about 12 years ago. Ex-wife and I agreed on everything beforehand. We mutually hired one attorney to write everything up and file it. We met with the attorney one time. Never had to set foot in court. I came out for the better. Mainly because the wife knew the cards that I held.

I had 2.
The 1st on was 1996/7 and we had a nw of roughly 40k. Legal fees were under 2k and we split it 50/50.
2nd was 2008. We lived in my house so I kept that. Other assets were split 50/50. Legal fees were about 1.5k.
In both cases, WE decided what was fair and had lawyers finalize it. This is way better than having two teams of lawyers fight and litigate over it. That is expensive. It also helped that my spouses (engineer & head nurse) did well financially and didnt need alimony or anything from a mid level banker.
Be carecull out there and protect yourself.

and yet you married her
yeah, I don't understand how you can recognize that somebody is crazy and still marry that person. Even though my parents' divorce was devastating to me and my sibs, I remember the joy of not having to hear my parents yelling all the time and being embarrassed in public by them acting like 3 year olds after they divorced. By no means was I ever going to marry somebody who would put me through that shite again. I'd rather be alone and pay for hookers than go through that.

Well that’s an open ended question, but I always pray for the kids caught up in divorce, unless they were abused by one or both of the parents or a parent was that was abusive to a spouse. That’s the true cost of divorce.
Absent that, the kids are always the ones who suffer for the sake of their parent’s selfish happiness. So in the end the costs manifest itself in despair for the kids.
And then the parents from broken homes wonder why they have a troubled child or children.

$1000
We fought over nothing. There was nothing to fight over.
I didn't want anything but my car, my LSU stuff and my clothes.
IDGAF about any of the rest.
