The total cost of a Divorce Attorney will be dictated by three major factors; the first being the attorney's hourly rate which can range anywhere from $300 to $700 per hour in Orange County; the second factor is the total amount of hours necessary to complete your divorce, and the third major factor relates to the number of issues or complication of issues in your particular divorce.The more complicated, or the greater the number of issues in your particular divorce, the more expensive it will be to complete.

Lastly, you should be aware that the amount of animosity between the parties is a large factor. Obviously, the greater the animosity between the parties, the more time it will take to fight it out and therefore the greater the expense.
