How much does it cost to get an uncontested divorce in Nova Scotia?
If you and your spouse have already agreed on everything and you decide to hire a lawyer to provide independent legal advice and prepare a separation agreement and the necessary forms, you can expect to spend about $1,500.00 – $3,000.00 for legal fees plus $234.00 to file the Petition for Divorce and $28.75 for a Law Stamp. There will also be some office expenses (photocopies, postage, couriers, etc.) These expenses are called disbursements. You or your lawyer may also need to arrange to serve your spouse with the Petition for Divorce. This costs about $50.00 – $80.00 if your spouse lives in the same community.
