The Costly Reality of Divorce: Minimizing Conflict Saves Money

Many people mistakenly believe that conflict is inevitable during the divorce process. It’s easy to associate divorce with the notion of conflict, assuming that if a marriage is ending, it must be because of irreconcilable differences.

Dramatically put, one might imagine divorce as the final showdown of a broken marriage, where the two former partners engage in one last battle to sever their ties.

However, this perception is flawed. Divorce does not have to be contentious. While conflict may have led to the decision to divorce, the actual process can be much smoother and more cost-effective with minimal or, ideally, no conflict. Reducing conflict not only makes the process less stressful but also significantly lowers the financial burden on both parties.

When you consider that both individuals hiring a separate attorney can both cost well over $5,000 (which is honestly a very conservative effort for a experienced lawyer)
