So if I go to see a solicitor what does my divorce cost in each State

- Firms 1 & 2 – Sydney CBD firms quoted $1,650.00 for the divorce process plus the usual expenses of filing and service.
- Firm 3 – A regional firm quoted $1,100.00 but said an hourly charging basis was used.
- Firm 4 – Wanted to charge $550.00 just for the initial consultation.
