Costs associated with Divorce

[Whatwillbe2025]

Hi MNs

Im trying to get my ducks in a row and compile a list of costs associated with the whole divorce / separation process. So far i have the following, please can you help me with what I have missed.

1. estate agents selling fee for house
2. solicitor fee for selling house
3. solicitor fee for buying new house
4. mortgage arrangement fee
5. divorce application fee
6. consent order writing
7. solicitors advice fees
8. mediation fees if used

Rent if one/both parties needs to spend a period renting whilst the house is sold and proceeds divided.

Are kids involved?

Hi… yes there are 2 children involved

Hi Dear,
It sounds like you’re doing a thorough job of preparing for the costs associated with divorce/separation. Here’s a more comprehensive list that includes what you’ve mentioned and a few additional items you might consider:

• Estate agents selling fee for house
• Solicitor fee for selling house
• Solicitor fee for buying new house
• Mortgage arrangement fee
• Divorce application fee
• Consent order writing
• Solicitors advice fees
• Mediation fees if used
• Separation agreement lawyer fees
• Court fees (if applicable)
• Child custody evaluation fees (if applicable)
• Financial advisor fees (for dividing assets)
• Moving costs (if one or both parties are relocating)
• Therapy or counseling fees (for yourself or children)
• New home setup costs (furniture, utilities, etc.)

I hope this helps you get a clearer picture of the potential expenses.
