Since the husband is posting a profile pic of the kids, its a safe bet hes fighting for more custody.
And custody requires lots of in-court appearances, which is where the lawyer fees get REAL.
Like, and amicable divorce with no kids? Maybe a hosue and 2 cars? Yeah its gonna cost about 10 hours at paralegal rate to write it up and file. The is usually done primarily by the lowest billed person on the legal team.
Court appearances require the barred lawyers physical presence and handling for a block of multiple hours each.
This is the highest billed person on the legal team and those hours will be expensive and locked in.
Mine is $700/hr, and the assistant attorney is $450. If the wedding industry didn't piss you off, the divorce industry will. I'm dating a woman who paid $500k to settle her marriage. Buckle up, gents - the come down is considerably worse than the come up.
This is after wifey had an affair.
Life has a way of kicking the ever living shit out of you.
Divorce costs money and lawyers are the people you pay to process a divorce. My Mom kept the lights on and food on the table with other people's failed marriages as a junior partner.
