Cost of Divorce in Maryland

We use clear, flat-rate pricing, with no hidden fees or subscriptions.

Divorce in Maryland can be completed in two different ways: through a fully online uncontested process or through a traditional attorney-handled process. Online divorce is ideal for spouses who already agree on all major terms and want a faster, more affordable, fully digital experience. Traditional divorce remains an option, but it is typically slower, more complex, and significantly more expensive due to variable attorney fees, hearings, and procedural requirements.

Cost of Traditional Divorce in Maryland

Traditional attorney-handled divorce costs in Maryland vary significantly depending on the level of conflict, the number of hearings, and the amount of attorney time required. Verified legal cost surveys show the following statewide ranges:

Maryland Divorce Cost Range

$5,500 to $25,000+ for most cases (Contested cases involving custody or property disputes can exceed $30,000–$40,000).

Maryland Average Divorce Cost

Approximately $11,000 for a standard attorney-managed divorce.

Attorney Hourly Rates

Most Maryland family law attorneys charge $260–$325 per hour, billed for all time spent on the case, including calls, emails, filings, negotiations, and court appearances.

Typical Costs Included in a Traditional Maryland Divorce

A traditional divorce often includes multiple layers of expenses, such as:

  • Initial consultations and strategy sessions
  • Document drafting and review (complaint, settlement agreement, financial forms)
  • Attorney negotiations with the opposing party or counsel
  • Mediation sessions, often required in contested cases
  • Pretrial hearings and conferences
  • Court preparation and trial time, if disputes continue
  • Supplemental filings, motions, and evidence preparation
  • Service of process and potential expert fees

Why Traditional Divorce Costs Escalate

Costs increase quickly because:

  • Maryland courts often require mediation for custody or visitation issues.
  • Every hearing triggers additional preparation and hourly billing.
  • Even minor disputes can require motions, conferences, and negotiation rounds.
  • Complex property, retirement accounts, or custody issues require more attorney time.

As a result, even spouses who begin the process “mostly in agreement” often reach $10,000+ in legal fees once traditional procedures begin.

Why Online Divorce Costs Less

Online uncontested divorce eliminates:

  • Attorney hourly fees
  • In-person meetings
  • Court visits
  • Attorney-to-attorney negotiations
  • Delays caused by scheduling

It provides:

  • Transparent prices
  • Fully digital document execution
  • E-filing convenience
  • A much faster overall timeline
