About DivorceCostIn

Making divorce cost information accessible and transparent for everyone.

Our Mission

Divorce is one of life's most difficult transitions, and the financial uncertainty can make it even more stressful. DivorceCostIn was created to bring transparency to divorce costs across the United States.

We compile data from court records, attorney fee surveys, and cost of living indices to provide the most accurate divorce cost estimates for every state and over 5,000 cities.

How We Calculate Costs

Our estimates are based on several data points:

  • Court Filing Fees: Real fees from each state's court system, updated for 2026
  • Attorney Rates: Based on state and local bar association surveys
  • Cost of Living: City-level adjustments using BLS data
  • Case Complexity: Factors in children, property, and contested vs. uncontested
