[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much money should I anticipate spending in a divorce? 44F, no kids.

Attorney’s fees?  
Cost to sell house? 
Moving costs?

What other expenses should I consider?

There are some minimal court filing fees, usually $100-$200 or so.

If you have to split a pension or some future retirement benefits there can be a cost for an attorney to prepare the proper Qualifying Domestic Relations Order, or QDRO. [/b]

Mostly the biggest costs come long term from losing a double income to support just one household. And from child support or alimony. If you don’t have those things and don’t have complicated finances, shouldn’t be too bad. [/quote]

In what kind of situation would someone have to split their future pension???[/quote]

This is common. Ex-spouse gets 50 percent of the portion of the pension earned during the marriage, to be paid out directly by the pension fund if and when the first spouse becomes eligible. [/quote]
