One of the biggest benefits of getting an uncontested divorce is avoiding the high costs that can come with a contested divorce.
After all, separation and divorce can be a stressful process, and adding additional paperwork, court and legal fees, and time and stress onto the process with a contested divorce can make the experience even more challenging.
So when considering an uncontested divorce, what is the average cost? The following are some of the average prices of uncontested divorces in Virginia.

Additional Costs You May Incur for Your Divorce
There are additional legal costs you may incur with your uncontested divorce in Virginia.
For example, if you and your spouse agree on child support or alimony (spousal support) as part of the uncontested divorce, this may add additional fees, as the final agreement and paperwork will be more substantial than an uncontested divorce that does not include these terms.
