In the United States, 40 to 50 percent of marriages end up getting a divorce. But how much does a divorce cost? And in the state of Florida?

How much it costs depends on which state you live in and what is involved, like children. For most couples, divorce can cost up to $15,000 or maybe even more. Divorces can be costly, really only depending on the circumstance.

A simple divorce can maybe only cost up to a few hundred dollars. Lawyers are also sometimes not needed during divorces. If you and your spouse do not have children or are not having significant disagreements, then a mediator would be much more effective, and easy to afford for you rather than a lawyer.

Children can make a difference in your divorce. You and your spouse may argue over custody, and overall it can cost way more.

Getting a divorce can be costly, but it all depends on your situation. If you ever feel the need to get a divorce, consider the circumstances and the money that will be spent.
