“Therapy’s SO expensive!”. Yes, it is, and so is divorce. In Alabama, the going rate to divorce your spouse is $7,000, and that’s if it’s uncontested. If you haven’t already come to an agreement on things like the division of your assets and debts, alimony, child custody, child support, and more, then yours is classified as a contested divorce. Contested divorces average $14,000 - $20,000 and all this while still trying to focus on day-to-day needs like your career, your home, your kids, and yourself.
