The cost of a divorce in New York can vary widely depending on various factors, such as the complexity of the case, the willingness of both parties to cooperate, and whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. In New York, there are filing fees associated with initiating a divorce case. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, these  fees can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, depending on the county. Some couples opt for alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or collaborative law, to settle their divorce. These processes may involve additional costs but can be more cost-effective and amicable than traditional litigation. There may be additional costs associated with court appearances, document preparation, and other miscellaneous expenses that can accumulate throughout the divorce process. In certain cases, additional professionals such as financial experts or forensic accountants may be needed to address complex financial matters. Their fees will add to the overall cost.
