STANDARD FEES AND COSTS 

While the following are standard fees for some types of services, the standard fee may not apply in your case if additional services are required. 

Uncontested Divorce

Attorney fee                Starting at $1,000.00  (fee depends on facts of case and amount of work involved).

Court Costs                $ Vary 

Court costs are based on service of your spouse in FLORIDA.  If your spouse does NOT live in Florida, the court costs may be higher, depending on where your spouse lives and how much the sheriff in that state charges for service. 

If you do not know where your spouse lives, you may have to PUBLISH for service. Publication costs run extra. 

If your spouse is in jail, you may have to hire a Guardian ad litem (an attorney) to represent your spouse.  The cost for this varies. 

If your spouse is on active duty in the U.S. military, there may be other issues involved with serving your spouse.  This issue should be discussed with Ms. Solomon. 

If you are the wife filing for divorce, and you want your name changed back to your maiden name, the COURT does not charge for the change if done at the time of filing, but does charge if done after the final dissolution of marriage.

If you and your spouse are in disagreement about custody, child support, property division or any other major issue, your divorce is probably not going to be "uncontested" and various fees may apply.

Property Settlement and/or Custody Agreement

Attorney fee                Starting at $1,000.00  (fee depends on facts of case and amount of work involved)

The $1,000.00 fee is based on preparation of the initial agreement. If Ms. Solomon has to negotiate with your spouse or your spouse's attorney, the time involved with the negotiations and any changes to the agreement are billed at Ms. Solomon's hourly rate of $280.00.
