Yes, everything includes court fees.

And yes, in the divorce papers you will establish custody, child support, etc.
We already take care of all that ourselves, drama free (we get along very well)
The reason why our lawyer is suggesting to have a separation agreement is so that the judge doesn't have to really dig into our lives and possibly decide that what WE want is -in his eyes- not the best for us or our child (e.g.that one of us should be giving the other child support, or one of us should have our son more time than the other, etc) We manage that very well ourselves already.
At this point, it wouldn't really matter what the judge says, 'cause as I said, everything is cool, so we still wouldn't necesarily HAVE to do what the judge says. BUT if the relationship ever went sour, it would just be insurance for the both of us

I guess what a separation agreeement would ensure is that we would have our divorce on OUR terms, as opposed to what a judge may thing is 'better' for us

Yeah. I've heard of and seen those. I dunno, I'm not too convinced of those "DIY" divorce/wills, etc
I don't want anything to come back and haunt me in the future, or haunt whomever is left with my estate.
I really rather pay and get it done right.
My parents had done something similar with their will, and now are scrambling to make sure it was done right. (Which will cost them a few hundred)

In any case, my lawyer quoted me $2gs for a separation agreement (supposedly it makes the divorce "easier" in front of the judge. Specially since we have a kid) and 1.5Gs for the actual divorce filing, etc

Wow that seems like a lot? I would check around for prices. But yes I see what you are saying about the Business Depot document. Just do it through a lawyer. I know a will costs $150 per person. I'm getting one done soon.
If you want I can give you 2 lawyer names.

Why is it that you need a separation agreement? I thought you just separate and that's it? ---as long as their is no violence or physical abuse.

Holy $2000. Wow, it shouldnt be, since like you said, it's a very straight forward divorce. No property to divide, custody access im sure is already outlined in the separation agreement. I think all you need to pay is the cost to file it, which would be around $200 but that's it. What kind of lawyer are you dealing with?

There is no separation agreement in place. The $2000 IS for the separation agreement
I'm dealing with a family law lawyer. $300 an hr.

This is my first divorce (

) but IF I got the gist of it, the lawyer suggested a separation agreement because it would make it easier for the judge (and better for us) to have our own settlement in place, as opposed to having to go in front of the judge, BOTH get lawyers, disclose all our info, and have HIM do all 'dividing' and custody issues, and sorting. I dunno, I guess it just makes it less messy and less chance of confrontation. I guess also it might even be cheaper in the end.

@ dOGO YOU CAN go to family court with your ex-wife and all separation papers in hand and the judge will review your case and boom you are divorced!!!

I'm sure it's that easy when you have nothing to be 'split'
If you have/had assets or children, I think it gets much more complicated, and has to be crystal clear as far as divisions, child support, etc goes

wow this foro thing may not be too good for me, too many divorcees in the house

Gay marriages can get messy

i think you are the one who needs to try something "new" since your having trouble finding a significant other at your age .....your already close to admiting that your gay ......why not just aim for the same sex now? i mean it shouldnt be hard for you ..hasta la pinta tienes

Let me put it this way....asi como me ves de viejo y feo

I get more ass than an European toilet seat. You wish to be me....trust me..

I think they should make a law that makes it a lot harder to get married or live together and much easier to divorce or separate. The last thing you want to do is prolong the agony hmm

@ LG - When there is a third person in the picture then they won't fight with legalties as much since they've already moved on

2gs for a separatin agreement WOW ! that's a rip off..dude...
I assume you've been separated without a separation agreement....but once you have the SA..you have to file it in court after that you can file to divorce based on the premises of the SA.

I went yesterday to see if i can finalize my separation/divorce and was a bit taken by the cost.
Mine is a clean cut/dispute-less divorce, yet it seemed pretty stiff (it included a separation agreement, though)

Thanks in advance

My Settlement was over 100K....I was taken to the cleaners..I lost house, cars, pension, rrsp's , etc etc....I wasn't able to affor a Lawyer at that point therefore I got gangbanged.

But is there is nothing to dispute I believe is around 400 buckets....if you do the paperwork...it shouldn't be that expensive..
