The first thing you should do when you decide to file for divorce or are served with a divorce
petition by your former spouse is hire an experienced Houston divorce attorney. However
necessary it may be, this step inevitably raises concerns about costs.
While we cannot predict what your divorce will cost, we at Eaton Family Law Firm would
gladly schedule a free consultation to discuss the specifics and estimate the likely costs and fees
you should expect to incur.
Remember that the cost of a divorce in Houston, TX, will vary and is set on a case-by-case basis.
The final fee depends on several factors, including the following:

Factors That Determine Divorce Costs
The more the issues that parties to a divorce disagree upon, such as alimony, division of
property, child custody, and support, the more costly the divorce could get. Also, the longer the
trial lasts, the higher the possibility that your costs will increase.
When neither party decides to contest the divorce, the cost of the divorce may be lower. This is
because not as much time will be spent in court preparing evidence and potentially lining up
witnesses to prove a party’s argument. Houston divorce attorneys handling such a case can even
charge a flat rate for handling the divorce. However, costs could increase if it is a contested
divorce, especially when children are involved.
