Our methodologyPrenuptial Agreement Costs
Drafting of a legally binding prenuptial agreement defining each spouse's property rights and financial obligations in the event of divorce or death. Each party should have independent legal counsel for enforceability. Complexity and assets involved drive cost.
Cost by Case Type
| Case Type | Estimated Cost * |
|---|---|
| Uncontested (both parties agree) | $293 – $10,738 |
| Contested (court required) | $1,903 – $69,799 |
| Flat Fee Arrangement (hourly equivalent) | $586 – $21,477 |
Filing fees (court costs, separate from attorney fees): $100 – $400
* Estimated based on national averages. Costs vary significantly by jurisdiction, case complexity, and attorney experience.
