• Divorce rates have been increasing day by day. On
  one hand, it is the breaking relationship and on
  the other hand, the cost that one has to incur
  for a divorce can be painful. The process of
  getting through a divorce is expensive. And, in
  the case the couple has children, the cost
  increases to numbers that can be unbearable.

• Most of the couples fail to look deeper into the
  divorce case. Thus they do not get a fair idea
  about the cost of Divorce in Ontario. But, in
  reality, a number of expenses add up in a divorce
  case. Contemplating on how to save a few bucks?
  Lets have a look at your options.
• Even A Little Saving Can Help You Save Big
• Flat Fee Divorces These are simple divorce cases
  that are handled by attorneys at a flat rate. By
  that, it means that an attorney is hired who
  takes care of preparing the required paperwork
  and filling the required forms. In this case, an
  attorney will not be helping you in working
  through issues related to custody and property
  division. The attorney is simply going to help
  you through the procedural steps.

• The benefit of a flat free divorce is that the
  overall fee of Ottawa divorce lawyers is less in
  this case. And, the disadvantage of going through
  these flat free divorces is that there will be
  nobody who would help you figure out the terms
  and conditions of your divorce.
• Mediation This involves a third party mediator
  who helps indirectly in solving through a number
  of issues. Mediation helps in settling divorce
  agreements and in preventing a litigated divorce
  from happening. A mediator makes both parties sit
  and discuss without imposing his own opinions on
  them. The couple usually talks out their issues
  and settles on divorce agreements on mutual
  consent.
• Once a mutual consent is achieved, the couple may
  go to a court and file for an undisputed divorce
  that would, in turn, save money, efforts and
  time.

• Collaborative Divorce In this case, you work
  with divorce lawyers in Ottawa who specializes in
  collaborative divorce. By that, it means that you
  and your spouse can discuss openly all the issues
  and thus can mutually agree on terms of divorce
  like child custody, alimony, and property
  division.
• In collaborative divorce, you have to file for a
  divorce, forfeit the filing fees and have to even
  pay for your divorce lawyers. But the only
  difference is that by working out on mutual terms
  prior to a court hearing, you can save yourself
  from the ruckus of the court. This, in turn,
  leads to timely court decisions and thus less
  expenditure.

• Arbitration This is another way to save on
  divorce expenses. In case of arbitration, a third
  party becomes liable to take the decision for the
  couple seeking a divorce. The couple needs to
  stick to the decision made by an arbitrator same
  as in case of a litigated divorce.

• Arbitration is less formal and consumes less time
  thus reduced costs. One needs to hire lawyers and
  pay the filing fees in this case as well but the
  benefit here is that you can save your reputation
  from being tainted in public as arbitration is a
  completely private affair.
• These were some effective ways one could opt for
  in order to save on the cost of divorce in
  Ontario. For detailed information on any of the
  divorce filings, it is advised to consult the
  leading divorce lawyers in Ottawa.
