Is collaborative divorce expensive?

Collaborative divorce can be expensive, but is also likely much less expensive than contested litigation. In collaborative divorce, each side typically hires an attorney. Both sides hire one or more collaborative neutral experts, usually two to three of them, and all of them must be paid for their efforts. How much a collaborative divorce will cost will depend on how complex the issues are, and how close to agreement the parties are going through a process, and how much work and effort the parties put into the process and the settlement negotiations in between the collaborative meetings.
