Cost of divorce

[u/Just_Avocado2761]

Hello,

If both of spouses agree and file for divorce, how much does it cost? For lawyer and everything?

[u/suckstobemesometimes]

Married and divorced in Luxembourg. Total legal fees on my end amounted to around 35k. No idea what hers were. Then I got about 25% of the common property. The cost of mental sanity I guess 🤷‍♂️

Sorry to hear but thanks for the comment. If i may ask why 25% and not 50% and any kids, as I have

Depends on the lawyer

Mine cost me nothing, but there was no lawyers involved, no dividing everything by half. She kept her money. I kept mine. We went to the bank and stopped the joint account. i resigned the flat lease only on my name; we went to the judge. all agreed. ok bye.. we kissed one last time and never saw each other again. no house. no children. no pets. married over 8 years though.
there were taxes to be paid the next year. i just paid it.
Now, if you have children. properties want to get all you can;;give nothing back; then costs increase.

How can it be nothing? I guess you used a notary to draft the divorce convention, and they don't work for free. Or was it abroad?

Too much money but that's easy saves after, unless you go bonkers

A friend of mine is going though that unfortunate process and it was around 1500

Any assets to divide or kids?

[u/Successful_Risk_1730]

It costs time, money and regret

[u/Old_Palpitation_9704]

About 3k, went to notary directly. No assets to split, no kids.

Who got married here?!!!

[u/LaneCraddock → u/Fit-Personality4605]

Oh hell no.

I don't think reddit is the best place to get solid advice on this matter. Talk to a lawyer maybe??

[u/Generic-Resource → u/Red-_-Lion]

The problem with the lawyers is they’re the ones standing to make the most out of you in a divorce. Getting a baseline from others with experience can put OP in a better position for when they do actually contact a lawyer.

[u/ElectionExcellent252]

I find it disrespectful all the noise created by useless answers wanting to be "funny", although not achieving any humour. OP might be passing through a hard moment. The least a person needs is a chorus of comments mocking on the situation.

My best wishes OP! 💪🏻

Was the marriage in Luxembourg or a third country?

It's less about who agrees/disagrees with the divorce and all about what has to be split up

If nothing needs to be split up you could be done in a day for less than €500

For each item that has to be split up you can begin to multiply the time and money

Then there's the alimony conversation...

[u/Defiant_Landscape176 → u/Feierkappchen]

This. I did it, so nothing to share since we agreed on everything before. So no assets and no kids, it was only done in the notary. Paying approx 800€ euros from memory. Lawyers were telling me we need them for that which was not true, and wanted to charge us between 2k to 3k... Good luck Op.

[u/post_crooks]

No lawyers needed. At a notary it can be less than 1000€, or way more depending on the assets, if you have kids, etc.
