In this blog, we\u2019re answering one of the most common questions that our attorneys specializing in family law<\/a> receive: How much does divorce in Serbia cost, and how to prevent it from affecting the spouses\u2019 rights after the divorce?<\/p>

It is quite expected that we want to know the outcome of every decision that we make. In the decision-making process, one of the main factors we consider is certainly the cost of the decision. When it decides to divorce, the situation is no different.<\/p>

Fear of the divorce process is often the reason for prolonging the decision on the official dissolution of the marital union that is no longer functional. However, regarding the course of that procedure, the main question is, in fact, how much does the divorce cost?<\/p>

The divorce cost is often more important than the deadline within which it can take place, and can even affect the outcome of divorce negotiations. Trying to reduce the costs related to divorce, spouses often change their attitudes and conditions under which they agree to end the marital union.<\/p>

However, is it justified that the price of divorce dictates the decision on the conditions of divorce? We are of the opinion that it is not. We believe that there are several ways in which the costs of a divorce can be reduced by reacting sooner or later.<\/p><\/div><\/section>

In the case of uncontested divorce, the spouses sign the Divorce Agreement, which should also cover the question of parental rights and property division, if there is any. An expert with practical experience can help you by making an Agreement and a Proposal of a court decision on divorce for you, as well as point out possible difficulties in achieving the defined conditions of the Agreement and suggest the best solution.<\/p><\/div>

Uncontested divorce gives the spouses the oportunity to let the attorney represent them completely, which means they don\u2019t have to show up personally at the Acting Court. This could save a lot of time for the parties, as well as money, especially if it is a divorce with a foreign citizen<\/a> or spouse who does not live in the Republic of Serbia.<\/p>

A significant reduction of divorce costs in the case of an uncontested divorce is also reflected in the fact that the procedure usually ends at a single court hearing.<\/p><\/div><\/section>
