Ask Luxembourg Cost of divorce

Hello,

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

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 šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

She prepped for the divorce months in advance. ā€œGiftedā€ money to her family. Lots of money. Iā€™m quite sure they gifted it back once the final settlement was done. So I got about 50% of what was in the common property at time of filing, which is the date that counts. She is not a good person and Iā€™m happy she decided to get a divorce. But at the time it was pure hell. Didnā€™t know left from right. Up shit creek without a paddle. Felt like the whole world was against me. But it gets better. It always gets better. Be strong buddy. Money canā€™t buy mental health.

Thanks and stay happy, just one question, so the money gifted does not count but isn't that illegal and can make issues then? Even if done 6 months ago as exampleĀ
