The website CanadianLawyerMag.com surveyed 570 lawyers and found the following statistics about their divorce fees in Canada:
- The divorce fees charged by a lawyer for an uncontested case vary from a low of $1,056 to a high of $2,922 with an average of $1,540 per case.
- The divorce fees charged by a lawyer for a contested case vary from a low of $6,582 to a high of $86,644 with an average of $15,570 per case.
Keep in mind, disbursements are extra. Typically, there is the court filing fee, a cost to order a marriage certificate and process serving. Most lawyers also add mail, phone calls and photocopy charges as disbursements. Discoveries, appraisals, mediation, domestic specials, and financial audits are other examples of add-ons that can cost hundreds and thousands more.
Also, two lawyers are usually involved in every contested divorce case. That means that in a contested situation, the average total divorce fees only for both parties could easily be as high as double or more the amount of the quote above — or well over $40,000 plus disbursements. That is 25.9 times greater than an uncontested divorce ($1,540 * 25.9 = $40,000).
Uncontested Divorce Fees:
Lawyers vs Paralegals
Divorce paralegals are likely to include some expenses (postage, phone calls, photocopying, etc) as part of the divorce fee. Accordingly, in comparison to paralegals, the divorce fees charged by lawyers for an uncontested divorce may be understated. The Defendant does not have to hire a lawyer in an uncontested divorce situation.
Fees charged by paralegals for an uncontested divorce average at least 50% lower than the fees charged by lawyers, and range from $500 to $1,000, depending on experience and level of service provided. Some lower-priced paralegals still ask the applicant to do his/her own filing and serving, but higher-priced paralegal professionals often handle everything from beginning to end.
Uncontested Divorce Fees by Paralegal
vs
Contested Divorce Fees by Lawyers
For fun, I thought I’d do this comparison. The average fee charged by a paralegal is $750.00 in an uncontested divorce situation. The average total fee for both parties in a contested situation is at least $40,000.00. Disbursements and GST are extra. Remember, we are talking averages and in a contested situation there are usually 2 lawyers. If the husband and wife agree to be transparent, truthful and cooperative, and instead opt for a cooperative situation it is possible they could reduce their fee to 2% ($40,000.00 x 2% = $800.00). That is an average savings of $38,200.00.

Divorce Fee Summary
The divorce costs quoted above do not include legal costs which may have been incurred prior to the parties seeking a divorce. The parties may have sought a separation agreement or court order involving the children in advance of a divorce and these claims may or may not have been contested.
Total divorce costs by paralegals are significantly lower, provided the parties can learn to get a long, be truthful and transparent. Paralegals can also help with separation agreements and other applications, provided they are uncontested.

My name is Emilia from South Africa. I’m here to testify how PRIEST LEO uses his powerful spell to save my marriage. I urge you not to ignore this message, My husband and I have been married for about 7 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy, and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, and he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn’t even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that PRIEST LEO can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships, and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. Two days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family and I are living together happily again. All thanks to PRIEST LEO. If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him.. This is his website http://astrosolutionrealm.website2.me/ Email: Astrosolutionrealm@gmail.com or you can chat with him directly on WhatsApp: +1(661) 525 4146. I would advise you to contact PRIEST LEO because he is the right man to help you get all your spiritual problems solved with his powerful spell..

Thank you for letting me post on your blog. I am very happy to share my insight working with DR AMBER. I needed help to win the lottery so badly because my bills were so high and needed to be paid urgently. While I was surfing the Internet for ways to win the lottery, I saw DR AMBER’S website: AMBERLOTTOTEMPLE.COM saying how he has helped a lot of people in different ways both financially/marital problems were solved by him. I ordered a lottery spell from DR AMBER and he explained everything to me about the spell and I accepted. I followed his instructions and played the lottery with the numbers he gave me. After 5 days, his magical spell made me a winner of 87 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, I am financially buoyant that no bill scares me anymore. I want to thank DR AMBER for his endless help and he’s from the United States. Call/text +1 808 481 5132 for urgent response or email: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com

Do you know what spell casters have done to me before I met the right spell caster to contact? I am Julie Pearce from the USA. Many of these so-called spell casters are fake. I didn’t know they had no power until I was wiser to know whom to contact. I will tell everyone today that this spell caster called Priest Odunga is the best and reliable spell caster to contact and he will help you with your problem as fast as possible. CONTACT HIM NOW AT ODUNGASPELLTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM. When my husband divorced me, I contacted so many spell casters and I have been working with them for over 3 years. I have already given hope on spell casting when I also read about Priest Odunga. I was crying and wanted help to get my ex husband back to me and I met this very spell caster and within 2 days, my ex husband called me and he arranged a meeting. I went out that day and I met with him and he asked us to rekindle and come back together. My wish was answered with the help of Priest Odunga, he is a real spell caster. I am happy to declare his work to others for it is the most appreciative thing to do just like others have done. Please meet this spell caster to help you with any of your problems. I believe he will help you too.
