Most NYC divorce lawyers charge an hourly rate plus an upfront retainer. The total cost depends on whether your divorce is contested or uncontested and how complex your assets and custody issues are. An uncontested divorce costs far less than a contested one. Collins Law Group offers a free initial consultation to review your situation and give you a clear sense of cost before you commit.
You are not legally required to hire a lawyer for an uncontested divorce but it is strongly recommended. Even “simple” divorces involve binding decisions about property, support and children. A lawyer makes sure the agreement is fair, enforceable and filed correctly so it is not rejected by the court.
New York uses a percentage of combined parental income: roughly 17% for one child, 25% for two, 29% for three and more for additional children. The court also factors in health insurance, childcare, and education costs. Support orders can be modified later if income or circumstances change.
New York is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly, not always 50/50. The court considers each spouse’s income, contributions and future needs. Separate property owned before the marriage usually stays with that spouse. Asset valuation matters greatly in high asset cases.
