While the following are standard fees for some types of services, the standard fee may not apply in your case because sometimes additional services are required.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (Virginia)

Attorney fee $900.00

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (West Virginia)

Attorney fee $900.00

Uncontested Divorce Virginia

Attorney fee $600.00

Divorce in 3 Weeks (uncontested only)

Requires your spouse to sign and return an Answer, Waiver and Acceptance. Additional cost includes preparation of those documents and expediting of your divorce.

Attorney fee $600.00

Court costs are based on service of your spouse in Virginia. If your spouse does NOT LIVE in Virginia, than the court costs may be a little different depending on where your spouse lives and how much the sheriff charges for service in that state.

If you do not know where your spouse lives, you may have to PUBLISH for service. Publication costs are based on the newspaper’s fees.

If your spouse is in jail, you may have to hire a Guardian ad litem (an attorney) to represent your spouse. This costs about $500.

If your spouse is on active duty in the U.S. military, there may be other issues involved with serving your spouse. This issue should be discussed with your attorney.

If you and your spouse are in disagreement about custody, child support, property division or any other major issue, your divorce is probably not going to be “uncontested” and different fees apply.
