What drives California divorce cost
Two divorces with identical assets can cost wildly different amounts. The variables that matter most: whether the spouses agree on the big issues, whether children are involved, and whether complex assets (businesses, RSUs, multi-state real estate) require expert valuation. Trial is the single largest cost multiplier — pre-trial settlement typically saves $20,000–$50,000 per side.
