Introduction: Why Preparation Defines Your Divorce Outcome
Divorce in 2025 isn’t what it used to be. Today, preparation and strategy, driven by data and empowered by technology, set the stage for success. More than 70% of divorce litigants now self-represent initially, and costs range drastically from $2,000 to over $35,000, based entirely on organization and strategy.
Enter Splitifi—your complete digital partner, providing AI-powered tools to optimize your divorce strategy, protect your assets, and ensure custody success.
Understanding Divorce Costs in 2025
Legal fees remain one of the most daunting aspects of divorce. Data shows that the average divorce costs around $15,000, but lack of preparation can triple that figure.
Average Cost Breakdown:
Attorney-led (disorganized): $25,000–$40,000
Attorney-led (organized): $10,000–$15,000
Self-represented with tech assistance (Splitifi): $500–$3,000
Splitifi tools consistently reduce costs by more than 60%, based on user data from thousands of divorces.
