What changes the final quote?
- Terms still to be agreed. If alimony, property or custody still needs negotiation, drafting the settlement adds work.
- Complex money terms. Instalment alimony, several properties, joint home or car loans, or business interests need tighter clauses and safeguards.
- Children. Custody, visitation, school expenses and relocation terms need detailed drafting.
- Waiver of the six-month period. A separate application, decided by the court on the facts.
- One spouse abroad. Power of Attorney, attestation or apostille, courier and video-conference applications.
- Connected cases. 498A, maintenance or domestic-violence cases need their own filings.
- Travel and extra hearings. Registry objections, incomplete documents or settlement changes can add appearances.

Mutual vs contested divorce cost
A contested divorce runs through pleadings, evidence and cross-examination, often for years, so it usually costs considerably more than a mutual divorce. If your spouse has not agreed yet, see what to do if your spouse refuses mutual divorce.
How preparation keeps the cost down
Agreeing the main settlement terms, collecting complete documents and listing any connected cases before drafting avoids repeated revisions. Start with the process guide, the documents checklist and the MoU guide.
